Christopher Robin and I

I took my kids to see Winnie, The Pooh at the theater a couple of weeks ago, and the strangest thing inspired me. A friend had given me a piece of Walnut, and here we are. It is about 8" high. The center band is bleached, and then the whole thing is finished with orange tinted shellac. I then gilded the top with Dutch Metal (imitation gold leaf) for the honey. Not an exact replica, and I need to re-take the photo without so much glare, but the kids love it.
