That looks real nice. I like seeing zebrawood but am skittish about using it because of splintering. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful HF Neal! Love the vertical grain orientation! Great form on the finial. Very nice work!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Neal..........Is that thing hollow?:rolleyes: Very beautiful and the finial IMHO is perfect!

[Curt Fuller]

Boy they don't get much nicer than that. That's beautiful wood, a great form, and the finial really tops it of nice.

[Neal Addy]

Roy, wanna see splintering? Here's how this thing started out. I was about a 1/4 of the way into hollowing and was maybe (?) being a bit too agressive. :eek:

Needless to say, I had to do some "redesigning" on the form.

BTW, I liked the original form better.

Neal....thanks for posting that 2nd photo of you pre-recovery! If I'd had that happen I'd of probably chucked it! Next time I'll give recovery a chance! Extremely well done Sir!

[Nancy Laird]

Beautiful, gorgeous, exquisite! And now what I want to know is: when are you shipping it to me?? :rolleyes: :D

Seriously, Neil, that is an outstanding piece--love the grain, and the finial is just perfect.

WELL DONE!!!

This is wierd. I see where Glenn just posted a reply so obviously he can see Neal's piece, but it is not showing up for me. The only pic I'm seeing of Neal's piece is the "oops" picture he posted in response to Roy.:confused: :confused: :confused:

[Adam Howard]

Wonderful job, and nice save!

Zebrawood is always a crowd pleaser, and it's worth the extra effort.

Excellent work!

Neal, now that I'm on a PC with "better" firewall settings I can see your HF! What a beauty! Excellent job.

[Keith Burns]

Just doesn't get any better than this:) :)

[Jonathon Spafford]

That is an awesome hf... great combo of woods, great form, great finish! I love it!

[Gary Herrmann]

Oh, thats very very nice.

[Robert McGowen]

I like the "new" form you did. The finial seems to just flow up from it very gracefully. Good job!

[Joash Boyton]

Hey WOW!! now this one really hit me....love it! Guess what I got as my desktop background??:D

[Neal Addy]

Thanks, all, for the kind words. They really mean a lot to me.

[Tom Sherman]

Nice save Neal, very cool piece.

[Pat Doble]

Outstanding piece Neal. Perfect grain orientation and fantastic finial. The color really came out on it once the finish was on.

Another great piece.
