From the woodplie #4

6" x 2" pear and poplar. Unused top (for "from the woodpile #1) and unused top of a box for a base. Captured ring for contrast.

Compliments are like candy nice but unnecessary. Criticisms are food for growth.

Yet another great piece! Of course, somebody is bound to ask, "Did you ebonize the stem after the captive ring was turned, or is the stem/ring two pieces?

Just tryin' to get ahead of the crowd . . .

Agreed, another beauty.

Ruining lots of good wood to get a few average bits.

Thanks for the feed back. The stem is one piece of poplar carefully painted black the captured ring was coated with danish oil to deepen the effect. It's hard to see in this photo that the top is canted forward and is held by four prongs of the stem. I shouldhave aitbrushed a bit of gray on the tips of the prongs to show them off better. The chatter work on the base was done with the wheel of an old grinding wheel dresser. Oh well live and learn.
