Haven't posted in awhile, been busy with "stuff". This piece measures 5-1/2" dia. x 6-5/8" tall. Walls at 3/16". All Macassar Ebony which was a joy to turn. Sanded thru 800 grit and finished with antique oil and buffed. As always, comments/critiques welcome.

Absolutely stunning Keith! Love the form, your signature finial and the use of one type of wood for the project! Your work is always so inspiring! Already saved this one to my favorites!

Have to say that this is a very nice piece. Balance is spot on and I really like the finial.

Another beauty with a piece of ebony this large you did a great job. The design is just right. I don't usually like tall finials, but this one seems right for this piece.

Keith, I really like that finial. Really elevates over a "standard" finial.

That is beautiful, and the finial is great, as are all of em. Really like the richness and the shiny finish.
