Wow, Bill! The proportions are spot on, that will certainly command attention wherever it is. You're an inspiration with the stuff you do. :drool:

Love it. Unless it's a trick of the light I like how the vase stem isn't uniform. I mean the curve isn't consistent or linear and more a subtle hourglass. That's confidence that the shape will fit the wood which of course it does.

I think that gives inspiration to play with the shape with natural edge pieces so double cheers.
