At least that's what LOML called it. Black Cherry, approx 5x4.

[Andy Hoyt]

Dang walls are so thin it's transparent!

[Mike A. Smith]

Gosh, you folks are picky! OK, OK, here's some pics with better white balance.

[Steve Retherford]

That's sharp, I like it.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great looking piece Mike. Well done.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Nice looking jar Mike! Given a little time - that cherry is going to change color and become just beautiful! Nice work!

Given a little time - that cherry is going to change color and become just beautiful!
Or even MORE beautiful (which I'm sure is exactly what Steve meant.

That's the one thing about cherry that I both love and hate. The grain and contrast on this piece is so nice. The freshness of this particular piece of cherry is just MAHvelous. I know it'll be a different shade of MAHvelous when UV does its thing, no matter how you try to avoid it.

Nice shape, love the lid. :) LOVE the wide, wide look of the grain. Because it's only 5x4, I'm sure that the width is exaggerated some, but still a great look.

Very nice piece.

That's very cool Jar Mike.

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Good going there Mike. I think you did a nice job.:)

Nice looking jar, Mike. Geez, but I wish I had the skill to make something like that.

As I think about it, though, I feel I'm better off with my little Wilton until I can keep the outside of goblets larger than the inside... :)

Really nice shape. I especially like that you put the "tennon" on the lid, instead of on the jar. This way, the jar looks uncluttered when it's open.
