A lovely piece, Steve. I agree to give the gold leaf a miss, the grain and colour is special enough, no embellishment needed. Mike Holton is an inspiration to so many of us!

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

He certainly is he has so many innovative ideas that you don't see elsewhere

[@manecobeirao]

Very good !!! ( Brazil )

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it

[@MikeHolton]

Hi Steve, thanks for the mention, I really appreciate it! The ebonising fluid worked so well, such an amazing dark colour and the texture around the rim was beautiful, I must get me one of those tools lol. All the best my friend, Mike

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Thanks for the tip in the first place Mike

[@tfturning]

Thanks Tim I enjoyed making this one and my brother in law was pleased with it as well

[@KimIngram-zh2gh]

Hi Steve! Mike Holton sent me, and I'm so glad he did. What a beautiful piece. I love watching your videos. Hope you get to 2k soon. More people need to know about you and your work.

[@thehampshirewoodturner]

Hi Kim glad you are enjoying the videos, only 7 subs to go so almost there. Mike has been great in support of my channel, which i really appreciate he really is a very genuine and kind person
