    Perfect form with some great wood; what else could anyone want. Good job!

    Beautiful piece John! Very pleasing shape and I like the natural opening.
    Laugh at least once daily, even if at yourself!

    Thanks all for the positive feedback on this piece,
    As this was the first time for me turning such a large piece of burl there's always that thought in the back of your mind while working on it ... geez I sure don't want to #^$& this one up.
    As it "turned out" I'm very pleased with the end result.
