As soon as they start being good. Man's gotta have standards, you know.

If the world based worthiness of craftsmanship and art based on its creators, no one would have any art except the artists who made them.

If people are asking, they're either good enough or they're so close, it's time to get some "outside opinions."

Looks great! I like the choice of rustication :cheers:

 

[dshpipes]

Thanks! I struggled with how to go about finishing the bowl and I'm fairly happy with the way it turned out.

 

[Kyle Weiss]

All I can say is... ERMAHGERD! :cheers: Neat rustication, it almost looks like a closeup of skin... really unique. Great shape. Great color. I expect to see it on my desk by morning. :mrgreen:
