>Glenn - I like the rings on the top of the piece. The dark rings make the rich deep look of the mesquite stand out. Nice job on the finish also.
I just finished a small mesquite bowl. I'll post a picture on a new thread. Mesquite sure has a "different" odor about it.

Really nice form to the piece.

Very nice. I'm about to start a mesquite piece. I just learned about a polishing system using wax. Did you polish with wax after the finish? If so, please explain the process. I hope mine turns out nearly as well.

>I, too, like the rings at the top. I need to try a hallow form without an added collar. I think it goes well with this piece.

>Here are my coments Glenn. The three burn lines on top are to large. They are to overwhelming for this size hollow form. The need to be very narrow pencil line thin burn lines.
Also I would open up the hole so the viewer can see inside. If you have a beautyfull chunck of wood why hide half of it.
Just my thoughts.
Happy turning.
