From Smallest to tallest

Nice Chris. I like the different shapes, in particular the middle one. Some pretty wood.

Nice job Chris. I also am a little partial to the middle one.

Very attractive. A little tip on selling them. If you are at a show, have plenty of dried flowers to stick in them for display and to give when someone buys a pot. One of my club members was selling his pots quite briskly until he ran out of dried flowers then sales came to a skidding halt. It's all in the presentation and marketing.

Very nice, good finish as well....

critique? Well, there are a few heavy sanding marks, make sure you get rid of all marks by 220g, but for a pot like this, they will be able to be over-looked...:)

Great job,

Joash
