I have been out of the woodturning community for about 5 years or so do to some complications with knee replacements. I now can stand long enough to complete projects is a reasonable amount of time. It is so great to be able to get back to my passion as I have missed it very much! More will be posted in the coming days. This is a 14.5 X 5.5 Claro Walnut burl hollow vessel. The finial is ebony. The cap is decorated on top and underneath using a spiral texture and gold metallic paint. Any comments or critiques are always welcomed.
