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.
