    Hickory HF

    Here is a hickory HF I did with a ebony collar and finial. Walls are just over 1/8" thick. It is 6 1/2" across and 3 1/2" high. Finished with Antique Oil and buffed.

    Another well done piece Bernie. Love the short and squat form. Kind of reminds me of, well ME.

    Bernie what a super HF. I love the form and I only wish I could think of doing finials like that.
    Great job Steve

    Very nice Bernie! I love the way grain looks in the second picture. Looks like a topo map! Very striking.

    Thanks everyone. It is appreciated. This was a neat project for me as this is the first as one said squat form. Wasn't sure how it would turn out but was pleasantly surprise. I want to try one of these in walnut with a holly collar and finial or some really white maple.

    Truly nice work, Bernie! Collar and finial two separate pieces... nice touch! I also like the form. Well done, Bernie.
