Don't recall the exact size on this one... about 6" wide and about 5" tall... walls ~1/8"... buffed oil finish... ebonized Cherry collar...

All feedback/comments/suggestions are welcomed - especially on the collar.

Nice one, Mark.

Okay - the Collar. I like the diameter, but not the height and its resultant pitch that departs from the curve of the form's shoulders just a wee bit too much. I see no clunkitude in it at all, however. Mind you, this is my perception only, and as fate would have it all other perceptions will differ.

Valid points, and I don't disagree. Thanks for the feedback.

Nice shape, like the collar, the polish looks good. I can see only one problem there is this big hole in the side.;)

Mark, great form on this piece. I agree that the collar is a little steep. But all in all you have done a great job. By the way week in a couple of weeks I may be getting some Black Cherry:eek:

Mark, I agree with Andy about the collar's curve departure, but I have to say that you have an absolutely gorgeous piece overall.

You did a wonderful job on this HF Mark. I really love the shape and the void in it.

I love the collar. I guess it could have been a little bit lower to continue with the line of the HF, but it stll looks great.

Nice job Mark. ;)
