...and silver maple burl cap. This is for Quazy, my sisters much loved and rather large dog. Roughly 10" tall by 7.5" wide. Finished with several coats of Waterlox. ABS threads. I really don't like the transition between the reddish colored sweetgum and the burl cap. I tried a little black transtint on the neck of the vessel and some red on the burl cap, but it didn't work out as well as I would have liked. Maybe a holly or black wood spacer would have helped. Next time. Thanks for looking.

I'll just echo the other guys...great work, Ted. I can see what you're talking about in regards to the transition, but I think your color match came out pretty darned close. :thumb:
