I don't know if Grechukhin came up with this idea of canting the rings at a different angle from the top of the bowl ?
Anyway, he's the one I filched the idea from.
I like it.

Re: Grechukhin Style RC Rhodesian
I was just looking at Grechukin's one yesterday. You definitely captured the idea. I think you've got just a tad too much shank on this one, though. Shorter or skinnier would do the trick, I think.
I really like how you used the lines on the bowl to separate the birdseye.

Ryan, you are progressively getting worse. This is garbage and I'm ashamed to know you.

Seriously though, this is BA bud. The contrast and stem work are really great.

Great work, Ryan!
I agree with Jeremiah. If the bowl were significantly larger it would balance everything out. The shank and stem work together, but the bowl feels too small by comparison.
