Mike - you sure can come up with some beautiful wood! Great looking hollow form! Love the shape, all the color variations in the wood and the finish! Really like the color of the finial but not quite sure about it's thickness. Very nice work - as per usual! Looking forward to you next turning!

I was going to mention how I liked the color of the finial, but Steve beat me to it. It really sets off the entire hollow form.

Beautiful piece Mike. I like the finial. The thickest part of the finial compliments and goes well with the overall shape of the piece......Ron

Seriously pretty Mike. I really like the way you continue the line of the piece smoothly into the lid or finial, as the case may be.

Most folks that don't work with wood might never believe that all that color and character is natural. That's a beauty Mike!

Just beautiful Mike. I hope to find some BE with that much red in it someday. It's real common here. Again, love that wood and your talent for bring out the best in it.
