Thanks a lot Ron, really appreciate it. It does have a few flaws though, the lid isn’t as snug fitting as I would’ve liked and the sanding on the inside and finial isn’t up to standard, but Im happy overall.

A beautiful example of what a person can do when he wants to, something to be proud of

Thanks a lot Dick, the credit really goes to the woodturning guys on this forum, without reading their comments and watching the clips I would’ve been lost. For me this is what LJ is about, noobs like me learning from the pro’s, so, many thanks to all of you.

Lovely job! The color contrast is a winner.

For the first time you did far better than most of us did.

Looks great. Now you will become addicted to turning.

Thanks Les, yes I must admit it was great fun and I have about same size offcut left from the Imbuia so I’ll definitely have another go at it.

Nice… i’ve been thinking about doing a very similar project. Of course mine wont come out as nice. LOL

If that’s your first turned bowl, you’re off to a great start. I love the softness of the lines.
