Gift for mom...

My mom has been pretty supportive on a few things lately so I thought I would give her a cool little box when I was visiting next week during the symposium. Don't have the dimensions yet, but it's about 2 1/2" dia. x 3" tall. Mazur Birch with a African Blackwood lid/finial.

Beautiful, full-bodied hollow form, with a just right finial.
The wood species look fine. Your Mommy will love this one.

these are always bigger than life, I look at the size, and they seem so much bigger. Very nice.

System did it to me again. I posted on this last night but not it is gone. Anyway, Chris, this piece is beautiful. Makes me want to cut into that piece of Mazur Birch I bought in Louisville. Mom's gonna love it. 8)

Absolutely exquisite hollow form. The shape is perfectly balanced, and the finial actually seems to echo that shape. Well planned; well executed. Congratulations.
