Hughie, you challenge the mind and the eye with the preconceived idea, it is an existing form, somewhere, as are all forms, been done .. It's the new take on such a form, where you are different and how you have done it with this one .. R&B .. but what a R&B ... STUNNING Piece the Camphor Laurel, form and finish .. Thank you.
Shape not quite right !!!! little too much on the rim .. maybe .. just .. still too bl@@)y good a form to complain.
I'm told I've some form of Laurel log ... if it should look like your piece .. for figure and grain, I'd have something .. it's just down to a form like yours ..
Cheers David
