WOW and DOUBLE WOW. That is beautiful. That's the sort of skill level I dream of.

Wizz,
Fantastic!!! I especially love the top & the grain matches perfectly.
What is that line around the bottom? did you forget to burn it?

Thanks folks, I appreciate the kind works. Thumbs Up!

Chuck, the line was caused by my chuck, I just finished what the chuck started by making a complete ring all the way around the bottom. I chose not to burn it, I thought a burn ring at the bottom would take away from the top.

Very nice Mike! I like the design and I don't think you could get a better match on the grain. WTG!

That is fantastic Wizzy! The grain matching is perfect. I love the dished out lid and handle.

Nice job Wizz! The cup base has a very appealing look about it, that feeling you just want to pick it up and hold it in your hand. The detailing of the Lid is very nice as well.

I really like the way the burn line bridges the join. The burnt rim on the bottom half really stands out. Very nice!

Great job. It will fit in the rogue's gallery very well. I can't wait to have it in hand. Looks like you thought this one out well and did a very good job with it. Way to go. 8-)

Totally awesome piece of work. I had to look at it several times to see where the lid joined the base. The burn lines are a great bridge.
