cedar vase with lid /finial

[smiife]

Hi guys , this cedar vase was the prototype for the burl one
I made for AWTEX , I made this one in january this year as a
test piece for the mallee burl i had in mind for the exhibition
Turned out this one got first place and the burl one got third
I was on holiday for 3 weeks when i made this one and spent
alot of time trying to get it right .......the burl one was made in
a bit of a rush job ,,,,,,
any comments and advice welcome .

Well done getting first place!. Gotta be happy with that.
Wondering if this is a functional item or more a decorative one?
What material are the metal rods?.
Also what is going on, on the underside of the lid it looks very interesting?.

I liked it FYI it could have gone in the lidded container section

Hi AB, yeah, It was only decorative, I don, t think it would hold water:U
The metal pins are cut from a 6mm aliminum rod from bunnies and
Polished up with fine sandpaper , the underside of the lid is chatterwork
with gold paint applied and wiped off while still wet.
Thanks for comments , and yes very happy with outcome , did not think
I would have got a first prize :o
