Five Bottles

I've been fooling around with long neck "bottle" forms. All are hollowed from the bottom. These are the first five of ten completed. This group is made from Ambrosia Maple (three in the front row) and Sugar Maple. The piece in the front on the far right is bleached Ambrosia Maple finished with satin lacquer. All other pieces are oiled and buffed with tripoli and carnauba wax.
They're sizes are:
Front row from left; 17" x 5", 18" x 5" and 17" x 6"
Back row from left; 18" x 4.5" and 16" x 6"

Tell me what you think. All comments are welcome.
Ed-Those look great. Did you do one or two reverse chuckings? There are some glass bottle shapes I want to try on wood and your bottles have given me renewed inspiration.
 
Ed you have inspired me. I have got to try one of these. Great Job!
