Very nicely done. A simple flowing form suits that burl

It's not always easy to get it just right but I think you have.

hi surge82
nice little box ,,just think it needs something....
maybe a knob or a finial or something on the top
just my opinion hope you don't mind,

Yep. Nice turning and nicely proportioned little box.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

I concur with smiife on the idea of a finial.

Yep. Nice turning and nicely proportioned little box.

Definitely have to agree on that one. Superb turnings, well done!

Don't mind at all!! I need all the advice I can get! have never done any finial turning, might give it a go!
thanks!

I like it just as it is. The figure in the timber is enough to give interest. It has a pleasing shape.

On the next one you might try a knob.

As much as I admire the skill in making finials, I do not like them.

My taste runs to bigger things. The smallest I make are tool handles only slightly smaller than my wrist.
