At first I couldn't figure out if I like it or hated it. Then I realised I had been staring at it for a good while, so there is definatly something about it that grabs your attention. Good Job!

definitely love it! i notice it doesn't have your tradmark high gloss finish(nothing wrong with that). would it not take one? or did you decide to leave it off this time?

Brian, I just thought a low luster would look better here...Bill..

You're right, Bill. Low luster was the way to go with this one. Great piece.

Great job Bill. At least you got all of the bug holes at the top and it will still hold some water.
