Good job! I like the soft understated finish.

Neat piece, Rich. Looks like you tucked the bottom under a bit... My preference is for even more of a radius, but that's purely a matter of taste. You're becoming a hollowing machine!

That's an interesting shape Rich! Consider a smaller mouth and ease the angle to the lip a bit maybe. Very nice shape and finish!

David,

Agree, I like the tucked bottom on this style piece as well. I'm having a tendency to do the bottoms too small, so that when I reverse it to finish the "foot", I don't have enough to work with, even with the Mahoney tenon, as I call it. Next one will be a bit more planned out.

Jim,

Yep, mouths are getting smaller now that I snapped the cutter in half....Also having a bit of a time doing this "cove" between the body and the mouth. Suggestions welcome.
