Here is an amphora (I first called it an apothecary vessel) that I turned.  It was turned from a piece of claro walnut burl with an ebony stand.  It is 11 3/4"H x 3 3/4"W. C&C welcomed

Tom, those sound like good ideas and good ways to approach creating the stand.  However, none of those were the method I used.  Since I had a a very limited supply of ebony, I first decided on the size and location of the ring.  Once I did that,  I sketched out the leg design on graph paper (both front and side profiles).  I then made a prototype to make sure it would function properly and looked good.  I then made a couple of adjustments in the design.  Once I was happy with the prototype I took the ebony and cut the side profile of all three legs at one time on the band saw.  I then cut the front profile on my scroll saw.  The disc I turned on the lathe.  Once cut I them sanded everything.  The gluing was a real challenge.  I started with epoxy but found that it did not provide enough holding power.  (May have to do with the black paint I added to the epoxy.)  Ended up using CA and it seems to be working well.

G'day Steve,
I really like that
This has it all....for me....design, shape & timber selection all great.
