Thanks Gerald. I kind of like the smaller bases. Perching atop that small
base seems, to me, to give the main body more importance. I've done larger
bases on some things, particularly when they're squat and large in diameter.

This was a recent experiment. Made from a 1x6 old Cedar fence board, some
small pieces of 1/4 inch plywood and some scrap pieces of mahogany. The
trick was hollowing the piece out without having it fling itself from the
lathe at 1200 rpm. The bottom was made separately and glued in place
after the piece was finished.

Nice turning. Perhaps a little larger base would make it look more
balanced.
