Here's a little pedestal form that I turned a while back from an Aussie bimble box burl. It's about 9 inches across at its widest point. The pedestal stem is ebonized bradford pear. It's finished with shellac and WOP.
I haven't glued the stem in place 'cause I'm not sure I like it. I tried a little carving at the top of the piece, and I'm not sold on the way it looks.
Comments, criticisms, and suggestions appreciated.
