I love the timber but for me the lower section could have come in to a smaller diameter foot.

Nice smart finial as well.

Excellent piece good sire!!:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

I like the sharp delineation between the top and
bottom of the form and the shape and size of the finial.

I think a smaller foot would have given it more lift. Then the finial would be a bit heavy for it.

But as it stands a fine effort :2tsup:

hi guys thanks to all for your comments,
for the lid and finial i used spirit stain and lacquer
it dries really quick and soaks right in to the timber
and i think it gives a nice finish,be warned a little goes a long way:o
and also makes a bloody big mess of your hands for a
few days after:~i suppose i should have worn gloves
but that would be to easy wouldn't it:U
thanks again for your comments:2tsup:
cheers smiife:2tsup:
ps. it did have a foot but i took it off,may be i should have left it on :doh:
