Like them all :D
Love the colouring of the beech,and am also very drawn to the shape of the last walnut one - it looks just right to nestle in your hands 8)

Very nice,the teardrop-shape works well,and shows off the beauty of the oak (and I actually like the finial as well,think the slender look suits the rest of the piece :D )

Looks nice,pleasantly different,like the idea of the recess in the lid for it to sit on the base.Got a lovely warm colour to it as well :D
And

Very nice,shape looks better in the second lot of pictures ; like the overall form in terms of balance and proportion,particularly like the way it sweeps up from the main body to the lid,and actually think the finial suits it :D
