Really like that, very nice indeed.
Today I have been given an 8" x 8" old oak post  ;D

John, Like what you've done and where you've burnt and carved, nice design, well done.

I like the texture and scorching, the colour of the old oak is superb, as is the finish, but if I'm honest I think the neck is too long and the shape not quite there. Perhaps a more gentle sweep from the square to the underside of the beaded rim would have worked better? Sorry!

Thanks for your comments, helpful as ever. Andy I can see what you mean, the shoulders are nearly square with not enough shape and it does look a bit like a chimney I know. Now there's a design idea! ;)
Regards
John
