Hi Gary,
            It is to me difficult to get the perspective with these laying on there side could you not turn them upright also reducing the size to 480X640.

                                                  Regards John

It's a fine looking piece and a colour that I like very much.....but it really would help if you took John's advise about the photos.

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

Sorry John, I posted in a hurry and never checked 100% before it went on, I will resize and rotate when I finish work, thought I had resized but must have got it slightly out a bit.

Hi Les, yeah, as I said to John I should have checked properly before posting as I thought I had rotated and resized. Will do after work. Cheers

Sometimes a piece looks just right....for me at least this is one of them. Shape seems spot on and the colouring is really lovely work.

 Hi Gary,
             Yes I like this Hollow form very much the Iridescent brings a plain piece of Sycamore to life I also like the way you have left a couple of collars of the natural wood top & bottom.

                                          Regards John
