Not so sure about this one....the form is simple, the contrast between the two timbers is good and the piercing adds interest, but I feel that the inclusion of the leaves just makes it a bit too fussy; a little too much going on for my liking.

Individually I like the turnng, the deorative work etc but have to agree with Les that there are simply too many things going on in one piece. There are enough good things going on in this for a good few pieces.

Hi I am in contrast to Les and Pete

I find this interesting and reminds me much of African pots, colours and carving, I like it, thanks for sharing.

Hi John

I keep coming back to this piece it looks well turned and I like it.

I really like the coloured leaves, the different woods and the piercing. I think that it's a piece that you would just keep looking at.

I'm seeing a ceramic inspired pot here. Some artisan throwers use various contrasting effects to create their unique look. I think you've achieved that here as well.

Yes it can be called busy, but there is also a lot of empty space as well to give a rest to the eye.

The one thing that maybe would have worked better was if the wall was thinner. The piercings, from an angle, have too much wood thickness showing.
