Elm Hollow Form with Walnut Collar

This is about how something done in all the wrong order can still turn out OK. 8" H x 5.5" D. Started with the form, and near the end I had a design opportunity, so I added the walnut collar. Didn't care for how plain the piece was, so I tried some pyrography to improve it. Luckily, the burning color matched the walnut, and I think it all turned out OK!
What do you think? Finished with SS and satin lacquer. Thanks to Ed Koenig and Andi Wolfe for inspiration. Comments and critiques welcome.

Nice use of the medium. I too liked the way the pyro and walnut complimented each other.

Kurt, I just love this piece. Terrific contouring. Why don't you give yourself the cover? You deserve it!
