I like all four pieces that were posted, but the globe really is an eye catcher, well done.
Seven Feet Tall...
You certainly got my attention!

Sorry ... of course by now you have figured out that I can't type, just peck and hope .... and it should be inches not feet.

lovely work!!
I love BLM for that flame figure you've got.
How long has it been drying? I've noticed a slight surface texture matching the flaming emerges as much as a year after finishing a piece. Can be either a problem or a feature.

Thanks for all the kind words. Actually, this piece was turned from some wood that had been laying around my shop for about 3 years. I don't think it will change its surface anytime soon. But I do know what you are talking about. If this piece had been turned green, the surface might actually "wrinkle" soon afterwards. In some pieces, I actually prefer that it wrinkles. I did a series back in the late '80s - early '90s that featured wrinkled surfaces ... I called it my "Ancient Vessel" series.
