Hello John,
              lovely finish and nice,delicate finial.Does the finial double as the lid?
I like the Ebony collar but not sure about the join.
Regards
John

Hi John,
I like these small hollow form especially made from Yew and you have a good finish on this one
Overall I like this piece but I thought it could have been a bit narrower at the base
Regards
Ken
