Tom, that looks very nice I like it a lot. How long did it take you from turning it from a blank to segmenting and all the work up to the finish, if I may ask?

I really can't give you a final time frame as I worked on it a couple hours at a time probably over a couple of month. I was in no hurry to get it done but I would say if I was to work on it constantly Probably a couple of days.

Hi Tom,

I have had a good look and thought hard about it but, my first opinion as soon as I saw it was, that necks spoils the whole thing...!

Absolutely amazing workmanship particularly on that top, but to me, everything right to the based of the neck, screams perfection and elegance but, the way you finish the throat/neck, doesn't appeal to me, doesn't seem to belong, sorry...!

This is only my opinion, nothing else, I may be wrong that wouldn't the first time nor will be the last...!:wink:

Cheers
George

Beautiful piece and your workmanship is amazing, but I am afraid I agree with George about the neck.

Beautiful piece. Outstanding design and workmanship.

Lovely wood, a wonderful pattern, and nice, tight joints... It's a nice looking piece. I'm afraid the area around the opening detracts from the overall beauty of the piece... Perhaps because of the pronounced angle of that area. If it were a gentle curve, I think it might be even better. It's a hell of a nice piece and well beyond the scope of my turning abilities.
