Open Stave #3

[Richard Madison]

With flat lid and "Burns" finial that was too small for O.S.#1. Elm, bald cypress, and some more of Robert's mesquite, about 12" tall o.a. Kind of an odd shape. Must have seen it somewhere. Comments/critiques welcome. Thanks for looking.

Very interesting design on this one and it works! Very nice joints, color and finish! Looks like you've got this stave thing down pretty good!

I like the design. The finish is great as are the joints.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. Finally remembered where I have seen this shape. Very embarrassing. It is a syrup bottle! Oh well, inspiration is where you find it. Best check the pantry to see what the next one will look like.

Rich,
I think You've seen one too many Geico commercials "oooh the sound of glass breaking sends shivers down my bottle". Very nice piece. The woods you chose are very complimentary.
