Lots of lovley pieces of wood seems a shame to have cut them all up in such tiny bits, be a man and have a go at a big piece of wood, stop messing with fiddly little bits. I love the woods its a really nice piece, love the idea of the sig in the bottom, lot of work and has paid off, what sort of time frame you spent on it. I love to see time well spent so many rush to finish and spoil on the finish. I like it a lot can sit on my side any time. Top piece..Geoff

Ok, time to admit it - did you sign the inside bottom before turning or even before gluing half of the rings?
None the less - beautiful work!!

Bill,
It's good that there is an opening at the top to collect all of the drool that will fall inside after looking at that beautiful piece of work~ Great job! You are an incredible turner~

Bill that is a beautiful piece. I just wish I had the patience to do that. I am giving a bowl a go and in the glue up process now. I am doing it just to say I did one.

Beautiful work as always, Bill. I have to ask too... how did you sign it?
It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.

Bill,
Very nice, once again. I guess my wife and I will see it in person at next year's Carefree Art Festival? Did you get any of the figured bubinga that you told me about? I was able to get some.

Thanks everyone. This was a very fun piece to build. It took about 2 weekends and several evenings. As far as the signature goes.I thought that would get a rise.

That is really cool.
I have to ask... did you by any chance turn the bottom portions and hollow them out and THEN add the neck?
I have seen demos where people will hollow the bottom like a bowl on the inside and then glue the top portion on and do the whole outside at once.
Just curious if that was the process here.
