Beautiful piece Keith. Nice shape for the colors in the wood. Might be able to hold a little bit of soup - nah, as Andy said, 'tis a piece of art.

Great job.

BEAUTY Keith, bet I could have had a little of ALL OVER the shop! You must be a "B" type personality with a very steady hand! Skip

Keith
Did you have a death wish that day? Sitting still it looks like it could fly apart.

I have a curse that causes injury to my body on Holidays of even number years. '02 severed 4 ligaments in my knee, '04 ran a carving gouges through my finger severing a tendon I don't think I'll try anything like this over the '06 Christmas week.

That an amazing turning.

Thanks all for your comments. They are appreciated. I was suprised how strong/stable this piece was. I had hoped that some of the bark would stay in the crack, but no way was it staying. Thanks again.

Looking at the thumbnail, the opening and void/crack look kinda like a tornado....:cool:

Great piece, Keith!
