measures 5x3.5 finished with AO and buffed. The lip and shoulder area started cracking like mad and had to constantly repair with walnut dust and CA just to keep it together.

love your hollow forms and your finishes!. am i crazy or does this look like red cedar to anyone else?, it has a red tint to it, and the knot just adds to the cedar look. either way, it's an awesome piece.
