The original is obviously much better, but here is my version. I learned so much that I want to thank Gareth once again for the inspiration. Hope you also enjoy, any comment/feedback is welcome. Btw, 1st picture is made after last sanding stage and before chemical polishing (12000grit, first time ever I go that far). Size is about 10x2.5cm, 3.9x1", and closing bead is turned out of wild cherry burl. Be Water Christophe [ Edited by: Cljha 2012-06-28 09:48 ]
