I actually made this in a bowl turning class. My instructor helped with the finial. I really like the bottom part but I think I may do the top again. It’s a little heavy for my tastes. The top fits quite snuggly. I finished it with a Salad Bowl Finish. While I typically try to finish everything at the lathe, I think I may be using this finish for other projects. That’s about it.
Enjoy!
Tim

I love the base and lid, very attractive, the only thing I would tweak is the size of the finial … its beautiful but seems a bit large given the scale of everything else. That said I wish I could make a finial like that ! Great job!
