Hi Pete
Sonokling is an Indonesian Rosewood, which turns beautifully and comes in range of colours such as deep purple brown, reddish brown, sometimes greenish brown. Many thanks for your comments |

Very nice, but I sure the proportions could be improved upon by making the foot at least as wide as the top.
Having said that the finish looks incredible- what was used ? Mike.

Looking great Mark.
The only thing is in my humble opinion, the foot would have looked better with a sweep down rather than the cone shape! Still very nice

Its lovely, I'm inclined to agree about the foot but only because it isn't a nice as all the other curves. But then I saw your website and you are quite the hidden gem; do us all a favour and remove the 'butcher' bit from your name, its not true.
