I'm with George on this...it's stunning. You could have stopped at just the first photo, it's the perfect shot of a wonderful piece.

A lovely piece, good shape, good proportions and a great piece of burr. Well done !

Did you mix your own resin or is it a bought in blank.
Either way the flow of the colour through it really works well with the grain of the burr.
Stunning piece.
