hollow form with finial

I love the form. The middle of the finial may be a bit big for my taste but it looks great.
Thanks for posting another idea I “borrow”. ;-)

I really like it…..... The finial might be a bit large, and the foot of the bowl maybe a bit too narrow, but a very nice turning. I love the hollow forms. Although I have not yet tried one, I will be going in that direction soon..

Fantastic job Roper. You are pushing your talents to new heights. Nice design and flow to it. Have to agree with the others, the center of the finial is a little big. The ball is a good design idea but I think it should be about half that diam. Just my opinion.

Keep up the inspireing work.

Roper,
Beautiful symmetry all over to my eye! I love the bloodwood and purple heart combination as well. The hollow form is not round and neither is the center part of the finial, both exemplify the largest body of each individual turning and are symmetrically correct in my minds eye! Proportional relationships are great. Congratulations on a very alluring turning. I mean , I want to hold it! Keep on keeping on.

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis
