I agree with David K. Looks very applish. I like it!
What's the finial made from? Looks like Holly or Maple?

Nice work on the lid Charlie! I like how it continues the outside curve! Pretty wood. Are you going to give it additional coats of oil or anything?

Allen, the finial is english boxwood root
Steve, one coat of velvit oil, i am in the non-shinniy camp, if i buff i would lose the feel of the velvit oil
thanks for looking David

Charlie, very nice form, and the mesquite is really interesting. I see so many different shades of color with all the mesquite pieces.

Charlie, The form is wonderful and a bit out of the norm with the flatter top. The contrast of the finial to the base it nice and goes with the sapwood spot on the side of the HF. I am sure over time and handling the finish will start to glow some more, getting that natural patina from the oil in everyones hands.
Nice piece,
Jeff

Pretty piece Charlie. It looks very similar in color to the piece you sent me though I believe mine has darkened a bit with time. I have seen quite a bit of variation in color in the mesquite pieces posted here. Was most of what you picked up in Texas pretty consistent in color?

Wizbang indeed, and might I add bang-zoom! Nice form given to a nice piece of wood. Well done.
