Gorgeous, Smiife. My kind of turning. The challenge is to bring it to completion with style and character... You did all three, plus you got an award, or at least recognition. ............. Jerry (in Tucson)

Smiife, I have been known to do up to four "prototypes", before I was satisfied with the design.

Yes I can verify that statement - you should see the prototypes that PP isn't satisfied with. Most turners would be over the moon and very pleased with the outcome, but then that is why Jim has won so many Firsts and Best in Shows - getting the last few percent perfect, well more perfect than any other turner can do..

Smiffie, congratulations on the placing in AWTEX very nice piece.
