This is Amboyna burl 4"w x 2 1/4"h with cocobolo base and finial made from one pc. over all height is 7 1/2".I don't know if this pc. needs the top?I couldn't decide to make the top and finial.Just wipe-on poly on the burl and beall buffed everything
Absolutely beautiful piece...I love it!

I'm leaning toward agreement with Larry. The lip looks like a mistake to me. Without it I think it would look great either with or without the finial. Not a bad looking piece like it is, just much better without that lip. 8-)
To me the top makes the piece, with out it, its ok, but like Larry and Rev, I believe it would look better with out the top ring. Other than that, this is a beautiful piece, well done!!! Wizzy
