I've wanted to do one of these for awhile now, so I finally did. Measures approx. 3-1/2" dia. x 8-3/4" tall. Hollowed to a wall thickness of 1/8". Ebony finial and base. Finished with Antique Oil and Beall buffed. Honest opinions and critiques accepted. As always, thanks for looking.

I am sorry Keith but for me there is nothing to critique. It is beautiful. I like it. I really would like to try one of those. Nice job.

Keith, this piece is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! I love it, and I particularly love the way that when you look at it with the lid, that finial seems to be growing out of the middle like the entire vessel was turned around a one-piece base/finial. I'd bet that you kept your hands faaaaaaar away from that thing while it was spinning, didn't you? How many nicks did you get?
GORGEOUS!!!
