Very nice looking piece, good job on first try, I am sure you will be doing more!! You did a great job with the grain oreintation.
If I my suggest, the curve on the side seems to flatten out and even returns out at the foot. Not a big deal but the eye catches things like this and in our minds its an instant like of dislike judgement that takes place. We subconsinously judge thing all the time using all our senses. Anyways, just something to work on if you like.
