Nice John. I like the BE, but the walnut is just not my bag. Something about the shape. Nice execution on both pieces, though. It never becomes effortless, just a bit easier every time, right? Come to think of it, I think I'd like to see that BE come to a narrow point at the bottom, and then either set inside and glued to a darker wood, or just come to a narrow point and attached to a thin darker wood base. Blackwood would look nice. (course anyone of us can just go out and buy a piece of blackwood like that though, can't we?) Just my imagination running wild with that piece. Gorgeous piece of BE though. Can't wait to see it in person. What's the wall thickness on both?
