    Bradford Pear lidded HF

    I started this blank a few days ago with every intention of doing some potpourri lamps but couldn't stop. I ended up hollowing it and adding a Madagascar Ebony foot, rim, lid and finial. 8" diameter by 6" tall. Buffed Minwax Antique oil finish.

    Have I happened to mention the expression, "Yum!", before? Well...I'll repeat myself. "Yum!"

    That looks great Travis. I think the dark foot adds a nice touch.
