#2.

[Nubsnstubs]

#1 , but would look better with a longer finial, possibly no more than a 1/2"........ Jerry (in Tucson)USA

[Fumbler]

I like #1, #2 and #3, #3 if I had to choose.

[Uncle Al]

No.1 for me.

1 then 3. I like their flowing curves and small base. Like the delicate finial on 3.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

In descending order, 3, 1, 2, 4.

For some reason #! always looks to me like it should be #3 but the stem got broken off... :rolleyes:

[NeilS]

#3, but keep in mind that Cindy Drozda has her name written all over this form...:)

Then #1 but, as Jerry suggests, a more delicate finial like on #3 would work better, IMO.

Then #4, although the lid needs to be scaled down so that it works better with the base form. The challenge with that base form is that is looks bottom heavy regardless of what you do with the lid. A slight waist with the form coming out again works better, IMO, eg, this one has a hint of that.

As for #2, I'd leave that form to the metal smiths.

Mick, I'm not sure what your purpose is in running this poll. If it is to get the opinions of other woodturners, then it is serving its purpose. Also helpful if you are thinking about entering into competitions as they are run and judged by woodturners. However, if you are thinking of selling your work through galleries, etc., then what works for those who buy from there can be very different to the opinions of other woodturners. The only way to find out what works for the gallery buying public is to get your work in there somewhere and and learn from what happens.

Hi Mick , my pick would be 3 and 4
I think the finial on 1 could be thinner , and would need a better pic of 2:U:U

[Redbeard]

Certainly No. 3 for me. Love the curves.

[d5k]

No 3 for me.

#1...

(Needed the ... As apparently my reply needed 3 letters.... Well over that now I guess :) )

[Bushmiller]

#3.

I'm addicted to curves.

[Chief Tiff]

No. 3

I don’t know what it is, what it would be used for or why it even exists but that one is the most aesthetically pleasing to my eye.

[DavidG]

3 is a nice form, 4 is unusual but intriguing.
Is it just me but, looking at the pine board and other things in the shot, are these items about 25mm high ????

[ubeaut]

1st #3 could benefit from a slightly finer stem on base, then 2 if nicely hollowed and didn't have a big blemish, but the shape is ok . 1 and 4 are a bit ordinary looking but might possibly be the easiest to sell.

Like David, I question the size. They look to be miniatures. Is this right?

[artful bodger]

That's it. Urns for the ashes of beloved pet mice.

[Potts]

2 for me, I like clean straight lines.

[mick661]

Yes they are minitures
