Ruining lots of good wood to get a few average bits.

Absolutely lovely. I haven't see a single thing you've posted that I didn't love.

Actually Leo, you could almost pull this off with a spindle gouge. You just wouldn't be able to get the shoulders as horizontal or thin them out.

Live long, love lots, and turn fast.

Thanks guys!
Greg, it's not stained. It was just a really nice dark piece of wood to begin with. I also have a taller form turned endgrain that has some nice feathering with gold highlights.

A beauty, Kathy! The form is flawless, as is your sanding and finishing. Well done!
