In my haste, I forgot.... Sorry. It's 7" at the rim and 9" tall... not quite the "golden mean". Maple burl "bell" and base, bubinga stem. Dyed of course... FWIW, here's a "head on" shot

David I love this piece! It really triggers something for me.
A very nice piece that exhibits a very nice ....smooth curve. The coloring is also very nice. I don't know how you can take this form much further, as it would be hard to improve on this simple shape. Nice work.

No, it's not thin enough yet.

But I haven't made a blue one yet...

I like this one much better than the 1st, and the color scheme is really complimentary to the piece, looks like an extermely difficult piece to get the proportions right, nice job, all of your turnings are extraordinary.
Beautiful piece David! This is definitely my favorite of the series. Love the color job and I'll be waiting to see the blue one!

Wow! That's what I keep saying to myself. Wow! You skills are very obvious. I love the form, curves and coloring. I'd love to spend a few days just watching you at the lathe.
I always know I'm in for a treat when I see a post from you David. Another superb job my friend.
What you listen to is your business....what you hear is ours.
Many thanx to all who took the time to look and comment.....

If you can't tell you nailed it, we can't tell you didnt. Really nice work.
Thank you,

Wow, three pieces too. That increases the complexity... I agree there should be a blue one!
