Great job there Patrick. I like the form, and the design of the piece I think you nailed your intensions perfectly. The only thing, and this is personal preference, so take it for being my $0.02. I would have liked a satin finish on this rather than a gloss. Being a southwest pettery you very rearely see a gloss finish on them. But again my opinion and it may stink to you
Be a mentor, it's so much more fun throwing someone else into the vortex, than swirling it alone!

Seriously though, thanks for the comment. I had the satin finish on it at first but it was sort of missing something. I like how the curves reflect the light with the glossy waxed finish, so I went with it. Besides, cherry takes such a great finish that it's hard to resist!

Yeah! Finest kind!
There's no going back now, Patrick. You're hooked.

Wow, very well done, Patrick. I hope to find time to take a stab at hollow forms myself soon. Very encouraging.
Where did I put that tape measure...

Really nice piece Patrick, I like the shape and the finish. I think 1/8" with the bottom a little thicker are perfect propotions for a piece of cherry like this. My wall thickness is still running a little heavy.
My problem is the opposite, can't tear myself away from trying to perfect the bowl and hollow form turning long enough to build up an inventory for the shows I have coming up this fall.

Great piece Patrick. The Monster hollower paid for itself by the artistic beauty of this piece. Godspeed.

Beautiful work, Patrick!
Many folks make this form just a little "taller" in proportion, but your rendition is very comfortable with that particular blank. Nice job!
