Thanks for looking.

Well named and well done.

[David E Keller]

I like it... It's an interesting shape, and perfectly executed I think. That's a nice chunk of wood, and the finish is great.

[Baxter Smith]

Interesting idea. Well done. Made a little bigger and it could be a nut bowl that could hold some nuts! Will have to remember that thought if I want to make one for a mechanic friend.

cool piece, never seen anything like it.

Brian,

That is a cool piece. Looks great, did you make it with someone in mind or was it just an idea. I have a good friend that is a mechanic and he wants a piece from me, this may fit the bill.

[Norm Zax]

Interesting shape and elegent execution!

[Karl Card]

very nice. what/how did you finish it?

[John Keeton]

Brian, that is a very unique shape, and very well done. The wood suits the form very well, and a great finish.

Did you start with an octagon shape, or do that after turning the form?

[Bernie Weishapl]

Really nice looking piece and interesting form.

Karl,
The finish is as follows: micro meshed to 2300grit then mylands friction polish to bring out the luster, the flats are hand buffed to high gloss.;)

John,
I started with the octagon. I took the same approach as making a square bowl. The interesting part is I had the idea for this piece while I was working on another long term project.:)

[Paul Douglass]

Very nice!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Now that's an original! Really cool idea! Nice work!

[John Tomasello jr]

Different, but I like it:)

[James Roberts]

Very original form and you have done a nice piece of wood great justice. Well done.
