I was hoping someone would ask me that.

It's 3" tall.

Really awesome Ron! Very nice curves and design.

 

[dfurlano]

3" tall. Never would have suspected that, from the photo it looks twice that size.

Nice. How thick are the walls?

It's funny you say that, I think the only wood I throw out any more is saw dust.

There is an outstanding book by Malcolm Tibbetts that I highly recommend. http://www.tahoeturner.com/book.html

Malcolm is a gentlemen and one of the truly great masters of turning.


To everyone else, thank you so much for all your kind words.
