second piece for '07

[Woodnknots]

I bought this piece of cherry burl some months ago, and have been waiting for the inspiration for what to do with it. While not "exactly" what I envisioned, this final product works better than what I originally envisioned. It's close to what I had in mind, just a minor change in shape. I still need to finish the finish, but that will take place over the next week or so. Comments/Critiques welcome!!
OH, since I know the question will inevitably be asked, it's about 7.5" tall.

I'm saving a 12 pound manzanita burl for something like this, but since it's a ball-shape, it'll be fatter. Very nice work.

I've got a piece of Ramone burl I got from Darrick, I'm trying to build up the guts to turn it. I've been trying to solidify in my mind what it will be before I actually turn it. I've got an idea, but I haven't worked out all the technical kinks yet.
