Coolibah Box on a Stick

[Keith Burns]

I've wanted to do one of these for awhile now, so I finally did. Measures approx. 3-1/2" dia. x 8-3/4" tall. Hollowed to a wall thickness of 1/8". Ebony finial and base. Finished with Antique Oil and Beall buffed. Honest opinions and critiques accepted. As always, thanks for looking.

I am sorry Keith but for me there is nothing to critique. It is beautiful. I like it. I really would like to try one of those. Nice job.

Keith, this piece is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! I love it, and I particularly love the way that when you look at it with the lid, that finial seems to be growing out of the middle like the entire vessel was turned around a one-piece base/finial. I'd bet that you kept your hands faaaaaaar away from that thing while it was spinning, didn't you? How many nicks did you get?:eek:


GORGEOUS!!!

Outstanding work, Keith! It's perfect!

[Jonathon Spafford]

That is simply a beautiful piece! I LOVE it! An elegant finial/base and a lovely form!

[Rich Chilcot]

Spectacular. Maybe someday I'll approach that skill level. Thanks for sharing.

[Jeffrey Fusaro]

wow!

very interesting combination of forms, colors and textures!

great job!

[jeremy levine]

Wonderful. Thats the best word for it.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Absolutely love it! Great colors, form and finish! Specially like the way you left a portion of the burl natural. Amazing work Keith! I would expect to see this in a magazine sometime soon!

[Jeff Myers]

That is beautiful !!!!

[Tom Sherman]

Keith you've gone and done now...blew the doors clean off. Excellent work with gorgeous wood.

[Bill Wyko]

Keith that's a really unique piece. I really like that the lid is disguised so well. If you don't mind my asking, how did you cut the lid off with such tight tollerances? Again, nice, nice work.:)

[Keith Burns]

Thanks all for your comments. They are really appreciated !!

Bill, the lid actually came from another section of the burl. I had this lid in mind but didn't know if I could get it to work. I just found a small piece that looked the same and turned it. If it had not worked, it would have had a ebony lid !!

[Dennis Peacock]

Well....I can't add to what's already been said....so I'll just say it backwards just so I can be different.....


WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


:D

[Jim Becker]

I really like that!!

[Shane Whitlock]

wow .. Wow ... WOW!!! :D I love it .. A work of art Keith ...
I gotta try me one of those.

[Mark Cothren]

Very creative on the top... the finial is excellent, IMO... all in all I think it is one of your best pieces - and that's saying a lot.

[Barry Stratton]

That is STRIKING! Well done Keith, well done.

[Ed Scolforo]

Keith, the wood choices are beautiful and the base and finial are well proportioned. Elegant!!

I really can't add to or exceed the above comments, except to say that my initial immediate response was,"that looks like lace". Upon further reflection, I thought it looked like lace! Either way, it is fantastic!:D
