A recently finished piece, burr oak, turned, textured, burnt and guilded, mounted on 16mm solid polished brass rods, onto an ebonized oak base with oiled oak feet. First time I've mounted a piece like this, needed a decent size base as piece is 26"x17"x3" and think it works ok, all I've got to do now is work out a realistic price, the hardest part I always find. The more I get the less time I need to spend at the day job, thus more lathe time which is what I want.
