Not sure what else to call this. It's maple burl with walnut finial ,base, and collar. Aprox 8 1/2x 5. Finish is Blo, shellac, and right now just 1 coat lacquar. Will add more lacquar,knock down with steel wool, wax, and buff. Thanks for looking and as always C&C welcome.

Stephen that is a beauty. The only thing I might have did different would be to dye the pedestal and finial black. I think that would have shown the HF better.
another wow and i to think the black idea would be better.. just gotten used to seeing the dark finals and that burl is fantastic as is your work with it..
Thanks all. Cynthia the base is perment. This piece gave me a few fits. I had to make the finial twice, and the base 3 times. wish i had used some holly and dyed it black, but i thought i'd try something different.
