Nice - is that light on the inside of the rim on the second photo?

...not getting personal, but can I see your bottom?

That is the flash reflection.

The foot is 1/8" tall and 3 1/2" diameter

That's gorgeous. Any tips for getting that acrylic to look like that?

Classy, crisp decoration to lift it out of the mundane but not over the top to take the eyes off the quality of the overall finish.

I applied black Ebonising Lacquer then using my finger I dabbed the acrylic paint on in a random pattern once dry sealed with a clear gloss finish

Some time wood does not need anything but this piece of quite straight grained elm I felt just needed that little bit of colour.

As you know sometimes wood need to be covered and decorated and others either a little or no colour
