Looks very good TT from all angles. Open to many interpretations thanks to assymetry. Good outcome for a difficult piece on your first attempt if I'm correct it is your first piece.
You're an inspiration, thanks for the detailed WIPs.
Cheers, Evan  |

Thanks for all the comments everyone.  Been off on an unwelcome break and won't be turning for a few days but I will definitely be keeping at this one to get it right. It's really growing on me and I've come up with some ideas while I've been away that might take the guesswork out of it. Quote:

Another trick with the HMG is to use the video head out of a scrapped VCR as a spigot.
You can then warm it up on the stove/a frypan before applying glue, the residual heat keeping the glue runny. And to remove the spigot, back in the frypan.

Sorry Vern like the WIP shame about the movement looks good anyway

| |  The lesson never ends...
Just over a week since I finished the box and I found that my choice of timber is continuing to bite me on the ass  . On the side that ended up thinnest in order to create the lattice, there was less than 1mm of meat left and a bit of really warm,dry weather has caused enough movement to pop it open. 
I've worked out a completely different process to produce a better result as soon as I can get back at the lathe. Definition of frustration - can't even open the bloody roll-a-door yet to get in the shed

Splits notwithstanding, it certainly is an eye catcher.
