INCREDIBLE !!! I would love to see this piece out in the daylight …..another fantastic turning , Joe , and the colors are awesome….there is just so much figure in that piece and the inclusion adds even more depth to the fantasy .

Very, very nice. As both an amateur astronomer and wood turner, this one hits on all cylinders for me. Your selection of purple/black was right on the money. Did you use a semi-gloss lacquer? Hard to tell in the photos.

Critique? I don’t think so!. Love astronomy, this actually reminds me of the Sombrero galaxy, love woodworking, it is neat to see someone combine the two.
