"Flight" vessel detail

I've been making some pieces with more sculptured bases and this is the latest one. I had to add weights to the base to keep it from tipping over. Probably should take that into account when I design these. If the base is properly balanced visually, it'll be in balance weight-wise too. I think.

Santos mahogany, Ebonized ash

8"Wx14"Hx6"D (the diameter of the vessel)

C&C always welcome
