That is a really nice piece Harry. Your wife is right and you did need to show it. Really well done.

[Roger Chandler]

Most unusual piece! I think your title says it all!

Thanks to your wife we got to see a very nice and creative turning.

That's an interesting idea, and it's a cool looking piece. Thanks for posting this... It's going in the mental inspiration file.

Harry I could see a whole series in this design. Experiment with the balancing and maybe some not so balance. Great job of thinking out of the box.

[Baxter Smith]

Very unique Harry. Thanks for posting!

Harry, I am impressed!!! There are so many things that could go wrong with this piece in the making of it - not the least of which would be just a "tad" of warp, or a little more drying on one side. Really very interesting and I agree with Bob B. - lot of possibilities with this.

The maple has the appearance of stone...great illusion and amazing combination of stuff!

[Harry Robinette]

Thank you all for the very nice comments,The LOML is usually right on these things so I showed her what some of you said and she said I should lisen to her more often.The bad thing is she's right.I've been thinking also about trying another one but a little different it just takes awhile to figure out the piece and then how to do it.
