Very well done Bob. The different woods used for the finials and stems all work great.

Great wood choices Bob. Each piece seems to compliment the other with no competition for the eye. Love the form and that Cherry Burl was treated just right. The finial is outstanding. You Sir have become a true "artist in wood". Hope to get close to your skill/talent level one of these days...Bill..

Bob, your definition of 'average' and mine are very different. I agree with Bill, you left 'average' behind a long time ago and, whether you believe it or not, your work is inspirational, and aspirational, for many here.

But you are not alone, Bill is up there with you, whether he believes it or not.

very nice piece, Bob. You did a great job, not only with the combination of woods, but the style of your HF, base, and finial are great. This is a lovely piece. You can be very proud of this one. 8-)
