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.

@MikeHolton 5 месяцев назад

Thanks so much Angela, I love to hear the memories these pieces invoke in people and than you so much for sharing. I would love to fly over the Sahara, been to Tunisia a couple of times but that's it. All the best, Mike 😀

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. Again, pure joy watching you and listening to you explain each step. You must have many woodworking students who are learning from you.

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.
