>Nice transition from the bottom to the top. Very nice smooth curve. The sweep to the bottom cove goes very well. Question though, why did you decide to go with a single deep cove?

Very nice!!

>Thanks for all of the great feedback and input! The single deep cove at the bottom (I think this is what you are referring to) was the result of a "design opportunity"... it was originally a shallow cove. It looked good and seemed to fit the piece so I went with it.

>Thanks Rick. I have seen a number of types of designs of peppermills and I have seen several beads together as well as single coves. I was just wondering why you decided to do a deep cove.

Real Nice Rick!

>Very nice Rick...glad you came out of the shadows to post a picture :)...The peppermill looks really nice. I love the contemporary lines you gave it. I can appreciate the work that goes in to these, as I made several for Christmas gifts this past season. It was not a project I care to repeat too soon! Yours looks very well done!
