Great work on both John!

I always love the look of the dovetailed bowls. They always look intriguing, especially to people who don't know how they are made.

I like the finial bowl too!

Very interesting effect, and very well executed.:2tsup:

The grooves on the underside of the lid add a professional kick. Perfect placement, too.

Cheers,

Thanks all ... glad you like them :)
I like the stacked ring concept as it doesn't waste wood and it is much easier than segmented. This one was inspired by Bob Hamilton.

That dovetailed bowl looks very cool though I'm sure the lidded box took more skill! Neat work!
