Closed Form Spalted Hackberry

Looks great…...no lid!

-- Measuring twice and cutting once only works if you read the tape correctly!

my first thought was NO LID…but it might depend on what the lid looked like…wishy-washy enough? The form is quite interesting, and a lid might take away from it.

No lid…. it’s perfect!

This is a very pretty piece, the grain and shape are very nice. I think that a lid might add to the overall appearance depending on the shape of it….. Oh, go ahead and make a lid the worst that would happen is that you wouldn’t use it…. Let us know your decision. I don’t think that we have helped very much!!

Great turning. Great form. Great finish. NO LID! Looks good as is.

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

Gorgeous piece. Beautiful spalting. Careful with that on the lungs.
