Hello Mike. Well, I have to say this one nearly brought me to tears. For many years I lived in Africa. Flying over the Sahara was always a highlight of the trips back and forth we made. This beautiful piece was so reminiscent of the arial view of the sand dunes along with tiny pockets of habitation. And the colour! Absolutely spot on with the reds, browns and oranges, along with hints of oasis green. Your final design was also a reminder of the gourds used extensively then for carrying water or milk, even beer before the thermos flask took over. Thank you. You have taken me back 50 years - and I have enjoyed every moment of it.

Mike, your monster vase turned out fabulous. As I watched you work on it, I was reminded of how a potter works clay on a wheel. You are molding the wood with your tools as a potter uses his hands.

It looks like I am the odd man out. I really feel that you lessened the beauty of this piece of wood by putting the texture in the vase. The texture should’ve been saved for a piece of oak or walnut, or some other more common wood.

I took one look at that log and immediately knew that thing must be decades old. Thank goodness no worms ate it up, doesn't sound like they could at nearly 4x as hard as oak. Gunky and hard as a rock, that stuff is AMAZING! But some things hold more value than any dollar amount. You'll be hard pressed to get your hands on another piece of that. I'd keep it if I were you. I've got some illegal woods too. I doubt I'll ever sell any of it, it's too precious.
