    Oh my Joe, your work is truly amazing. This is so perfect in every way. Are you going to be in San Jose? I'd sure like to meet you in person.

    Beautiful...

    The only problem with a textured piece like this is that everybody is going to want to handle it...

    What did you use for a finish? (nevermind, re-read the post)

    Thanks Bill. I will not be attending the symposium this year. I do look forward to meeting you sometime in the near future.

    Thanks Chris. I used acrylics for the finish. I encourage people to pick them up and experience the texture "first hand."

    Thanks John and Russell. I edited my original post and added a photo of the bottom. This piece was made to just lay around.

    Beautiful Joe.

    Awe, nuts, that's cool! I think you've gotta be up there in "patience" with Bill Wyko and Jim Adkins...
