Cool stuff. Amazing how a quality piece of work can fool the eye into the proportions. This looks like it’s a foot tall.

The other day I was watching at your past projects, and I was wondering if you have ever designed a series of 2 or 3 vessels, thought to be shown together, I mean, presented as a single composition of 2 or 3 vessels.

Anyway I like your work a lot too.

That is beautiful. How did you bore out the inside? Use a boring bar or long hand tools?
I really like that raised rim at the top. Nice touch!!!!!!!
Only nature can make that spalting!!

Even without the spalting the fiddle back grain is fantastic, The spalting just adds to it. Very nice piece.
