This vessel is a piece of buckeye burl, finial is dyed cherry, and base is dyed crotch of scotch pine. There were 6 branches located around the bottom of the base. Finish is Minwax Antigue Oil, beal buffed. Size: 9 x 5.25. Thanks for looking.

Dan, that is one fine looking piece of burl, and that base is really interesting! I can see the branch marks, and it really looks great on this piece.

The six branch eyes gives the base a similar visual quality as the burl.

Very nice, really like the finial.

I like the way the cherry and pine are dyed to compliment the colors in the burl. The base is really interesting and an unusual choice. It works well.
Very nice piece.

I really like this piece and the base adds to the total interest. I really need to get some buckeye burl, some of the buckeye pieces I've seen are absolutely great. Thanks for posting this beauty!

Perfect color on the finial and base to compliment that great chunk of burl.
Nice work and thanks for the look see Dan.

Boy, that's some pretty wood! I like the shape. The finial is a little thick for my tastes.

Wow - lots going on with this piece! Really like the burl, the pedestal and the way you matched colors between elements! Keep up the good work!

That's a nice looking piece of buckeye burl. It's good to know that the AO works well as a finish... I've got a few pieces of buckeye headed my way at some point.

Great looking burl HF. The "eyes" in the base tie it all together.

This piece of burl is right up my alley. The shape is very nice as is the knotty base. I think the finial is a bit heavy IMHO but the color complement is great.
