Andy,
well what a stunning piece of wood. I've seen blanks made by adding mixed colour resin to a piece of burr to create the 2 tone/wood effect, but this wood does it all naturally and in spades.
I really like the long sweeping curve from the rim to the foot, and from the photograph, it seems to lift the foot clear of the surface, or it that clever photography?
This is one to be proud of for a very long time.
