    My first impression was that it was a pretty nice piece. After I looked at it a while, my second impression was that it was still a pretty nice piece.

    I like it, but how do you sand a piece like this for finishing?

    Interesting HF, and clever name.

    I believe I commented on another forum, but I like this wrinkly vessel so much, it's worth 2 comments. Very, very cool!

    Joe, let me guess - it was turned 12" tall, but turned wet and thin and drooped on you!?!?!? "Pug" is a fitting name, for sure!

    I love it!! Great texturing on a great form to begin with. Excellent!!
