    Beautiful piece Joe. The yin-yang look in the first pic is pretty cool too. Nice soft finish that I like.

    Joe,
    I like the form, and the wood has a nice contrast with the sapwood. Well done

    That grain sure pops out at you! Good looking form and I like the soft finish on this one.

    Very nice Joe! I like the overall shape and I especially like the grain pattern. It reminds me of ocean waves crashing on the beach. I could stare at this piece for a long time!

    Joe,

    Rosewood is one of my favorites - especially when you get some of that sapwood in it. Classic form well done.

    Joe, when ever I see a thread is by you, I know I'm in for something special. Once again this is no exception, a beautiful form and excellent selection of wood. Well done my friend.

    Joe, it's gorgeous! Beautiful work, not sure there is anyway to improve the look of the rosewood, and the finish compliments it perfectly

    Very pretty Joe. The curve of the sapwood sets this one above the norm IMO.

    Beautiful piece Joe! Great form, fantastic wood and I'm a sucker for a little sapwood accent!
