This was turned from a piece of Box Elder that Jim K. gave me last year.

It has 1 worm hole, doesn't go all the way thru...figured I'd leave it 'as is' for 'Character'.

4"W x 8"H x 3/16" thick, 1 coat General Finishes Danish oil.

As always, critiques are welcome and appreciated. :)

Joe,
I have a problem in that...I can't find anything wrong with your piece (j/k):) ;) :p . The wood looks beautiful the way you turned it. It looks like it has lots of curl to it. I also like that the flame isn't continuous around the neck of the piece. It is more interesting the way you turned it. I really like the shape as well. In particular I like the way the size of the "foot" mimics the size of the opening on top. It looks like a soothing classical form to me.

Winner...winner...chicken dinner...ding ding ding!!!

Now that is pretty and I love that shape Joe. Very striking wood with the red stripe with black on top of it. Nice!

Nothing more to complain about!
