maple hollow form with pedestal and finial

[mike fuson]

This piece is 9 1/2 tall and the hollow form is 3 1/2 wide. The pedestal and finial is Padauk , maybe an unusual species of wood but I liked the way it looked. The finish is buffed seal coat. Thanks for looking.

Wow. That is very impressive. I trully like the colors and the shape of it, the way you've blended the foot into the hollw form. In a nut shell I like the whole thing.
Congratulations and thank you for the inspiration.

Now that's one to make a feller sit up and take notice. Very nice Mike.

[Brian McInturff]

beautiful piece Mike. I love the color contrast you used. It really sets the piece off and makes you say "WOW". Love the form and how all the curves are "fluid". Excellent job.

Just beautiful Mike!

[Paul Engle]

Right on Mike.All of the above!!!I'm doing a Padauk/maple vase segmented now and I really like that "orange" against the " white". Nice work.

[Curt Fuller]

That's a beauty Mike! Those two woods look great together. Nice work on the finials too.

[Arlan Ten Kley]

A classy piece! Nicely done.

[Steve Schlumpf]

WOW! Love the contrasting colors! Great form - especially the blending of the two forms and the slim taper of the pedestal! I like the way you matched the height of the finial with the length of the pedestal - makes it more balanced. Only thing I would liked even more with the finial would be a curve on the base that blended with the curve on the top of the hollow form.

I like this one - already saved it to my favorites! Very nice work!

[Bill Bolen]

Perfection Mike! Love everything about it but most especially the form!...Bill...

[Mike Vickery]

MIke I like it a lot. The bottom looks great to me, personally I would like it a little better if the Padauk top had a curve to match the rest of the piece. If looks a little flat to me. Of course I know pictures can be decieveing so maybe it is just the picture.

[D-Alan Grogg]

I'll chime in with more applause. That's a wonderful looking form. Good work!

[Ben Gastfriend]

The contrast of the woods is amazing. Great job. The entire flow of the piece is also very nice.

[Bill Wyko]

Wow Mike. That's a very nice way to present a hollow form. the continuous flow of this one is great. Nice finial too. I'd expect nothing less from you. A++

[Greg Ketell]
