That is a pretty nice form............really small foot! Nice job on this, John.....I like the flowing lines of the curve and the form is pleasing to the eye for sure!

Really pleasing form. Nice work. Looks like you got a lot out of the class.

Really nice form John and looks like the class was a good one.

Beautiful wood and I like the full figured form with smaller foot... The only nit pick I can think of is that the apparent thickness of the form(based on the lip) seems a little odd with the tiny foot. I guess it makes the form feel sort of top heavy for me... That's a pretty small nit! I think it's a gorgeous shape, and that finish is fantastic.

Like the form, Lovely curves and a tiny little foot. Dark and mysterious wood with lots of interest, looks like a galaxy floating there on the left side.

I do like the form, though I am not a great fan of the super small feet on these vessels. I know it is the rage, but they seem to look tipsy to me. Nonetheless, that takes nothing away from what you have done here! Great work, beautiful curves and a nice piece of wood. I guess I am still learning all these folks - took a look at Mike Jacofsky's website - very impressive work!!! Some wonderful turnings, and I am sure the clinic was fantastic.

John....Nice form, nice wood, nice job. I too think the foot is smallish but overall
a very nicely done piece. Am wondering why OK has so many good turners? Must
be the water!! OR.....Maybe NEOWTA is the reason. Good job.
