Simply stunning Keith! You have really gotten that finial thing down pat.

Just breathtaking! I have no clue how you get those finials so thin without breaking, but they sure are purty!

No critiques just compliments. That is truly amazing! Very, very well done!

That's really sweet, Keith. If it didn't have the pedestal, I might have commented that the finial might be perceived as a little heavy, but with the pedestal, the whole piece is very nicely balanced. Bravo!

Beautiful work once again Keith!

Really like the proportions on this one! Also love the way the elements of the pedestal and finial mirror each other! Beautiful woods and color contrast.

Very impressed with the quality of your work! Hope that with lots of practice and determination - I'll get there also! Thanks for sharing!

Very beautiful and skillful work, no doubt about it. However, to be honest, I'm not totally comfortable with it. It's a bit too delicate and impractical for my taste. I prefer more functional pieces. But that's just me.

I think this qualifies as perfection in turned wood! You really have an eye for size and shape. Just stunning!...Bill..

Very nicely done. My only problem with it is that I think the box alone would be very nice, and the finial and base look like an afterthought that the box would be better off without. The finial and base are very nice looking, they just don't look "right" for the box. Just my opinion.

Very professional Mr. Burns. Definetly one that needs to be behind glass.
