Touch of Envy

Maple hollow form with curly Maple finial, 6 to top of finial x 5 diameter x close to 1/16 thick. Sanded to 6oo grit and lightly dyed with RIT Kelly green dye, it has many coats of gloss wipe-on poly and was given a coat of Renaissance wax to help give it that glass-like feel!

As always, your opinions, critiques and comments are appreciated!

Thanks for looking!

Beautiful piece, but for me there is either too much or too little contrast between the finial and vessel.

Hal - it was my intention to have the piece monochromatic - as much as possible. Although photos rarely capture curl - the finial comes alive when touched with light and that helps make the piece work. IMO.
