Ooo... nice!

Great job on this, Bob! That stuff ain't easy to hollow! That's almost masochistic!

Beautiful use of the natural edge. This is a winner!

That is nice, I think the wood called for the shape.

Beautiful little hollow form Bob! Great looking wood & finish! Really like the chimney effect on the neck and the use of the natural edge. Got a little southwestern flair to it. Have to agree with Neal - this is a winner! Already saved it to my favorites folder! Seriously nice work!

Thanks for the kind words guys, LOML made fun of me on this one as I kept the block of wood on the kitchen counter for a week waiting for a design to appear in my head when I would look at it.
