Another great piece JD. The only comment I would make on this and the offcenter box would be IMHO that the section of finial above the beak and below the flame tip could be thinned out to maybe 1/2 of what it is to create a bit more delicacy to it. It feels a tad stout for me on such an elegant turning.

Thanks Chris. I thought the same thing. I would have liked to put it back on the lathe but it was too late.

Thats where I got the Birch Rev. I got a log that I think I can get two more boxes out of. Turns real nice.

I know that story all too well JD, isn't it always the case, 1 minute after the last cut is made and you think..."I could have..." Wink

Speaking of masur, I have some that's calling me too...tomorrow night Smile
