      We have always found that choosing a plinth / base for anything is the hardest part.
          Like This As Is Ed...... Very Effective.

Astunning piece of burr with just the right amount of work done to it....nothing wrong with the base, either!

I think it's going to look lovely when it's finished Ed  ;D

No on a serious note I really like what you have done with this Ed, I also think that it would look good hanging on the wall (minus the base that is)  all the best Les

Must be a magical  Aspsis, there's nothing to hold onto on the reverse!

But it looks stunning from either direction.
