That's a cracker.  Great shape and excellent finish.  Love the double knot that you've shown off really well.

Yes,I like it-which Osmo oil did you use ?
Here's an odd thing,I'm not a fan of finials but looking at your form I get a feeling of wanting it to continue upwards.

Regards,
Mike

I like that....having the pith close to one side, rather than central, has paid benefits with a very interesting grain configuration.

Before Brian says it there are two spiders there. Seriously it is a lovely shape, finish etc and one to be proud of.

  Nice Form that looks really well balanced and from the pic looks to have a really good finish well done.

Well I replied earlier, but I don't see a posting from me - strange. Trying again...

I think you've hit the shape of this form spot on, it looks great.

I know the 2 knots and associated patter between them is Nature not Nurture but it does remind me greatly of Moiré Diagrams. A really amazing effect, one to admire and keep.
