Hey that looks like a pretty good project. What kind of lathe are you using?

That’s an interesting design. I like the flow of the body and the contrasting woods, it gives it a very pleasing and unique look.

Welcome to turning Jurin, looks a pretty good start here. Is this two seperate bowls, or, does the larger one sit on the seperate base?
Make sure it is just the lathe that spins & not your head with all thoes designs running around in it :)
Its nice to share a few details about your project, a size, timber & maybe finish

peteg.. thanks for your comment. Too late my head is already spinning. It’s a bowl with a lid (turned box?) I don’t remember what kind of wood species I used. Sorry I’m new at this. The height is about 5”. Diameter is 6” and the finish is “shella wax”.
My wife uses it to keep spare change in it.

Great turned box. Looks like maybe maple and walnut? Great design and build.

Keep it up.

Very nice and welcome to turning. You’ve got the knack, keep at and keep posting pics. I wish my first bowl looked as good as yours. My first bowl wound up transforming into a plate and my second transformed into multiple pieces of kindling but turning is very relaxing and rewarding.
