The lidded vessel
Is fantastic
Reminds a little of the Middle East
I personally love finals
I know others don't and that's fair
It looks fantastic

Both are very nice. I quite like the finial, I think it suits that lidded bowl. Can I suggest you dull of the finish on the mallee bowl? It is a lovely piece of timber and well made, but the gloss does hide the timber a little.
Excellent..

I really like the bowl. The two colours are something that I keep an eye out for wood.

I love over the timber in these pieces,
personally I don't like finials at all, but you have done a great job on the turning aspect of it, I guess if I was to put something on the lid I would have done a small handle/ knob shape (ie maybe stopped before the big bulb on yours)
And then you have the Mallee, very, very nice piece of timber and you have done a great job with it, I agree with earlier post about the gloss finish, I think a satin finish would look unreal, I have been using Kunos oil on the Burl bowls I have been doing and it comes up really nice, do you have a picture of what the Burl looked like before you turned the bowl? Would be nice to see a before and after,
keep up the great work
Cheers Ben
