Beautiful hollow form Mike! Love the form, nice clean curves and you managed to get it a lot thinner than I ever thought of trying! Also like the photography. Nice lighting, crisp focus and natural colors. Once again Mike - very nice work!

Beautiful HF Mike. Nice form and finish. Well done.

[Ben Gastfriend]

Great HF! (Not to metion the photo!) Those walls are really thin. I'd probably turn that into a shallow bowl If I tried!

As wonderful as always Mike, another winner!

[Bill Embrey]

Beautiful... and should you run out of room to display such happy pieces of work (re: the smile)... feel free to send it to me so I can also study the finish technique :)

[Allen Neighbors]

That form is absolutely beautiful... truly a nice piece of art.
