Skew ChiDAMN!!

Just to show that I haven't been sitting on my keister and am finally getting the new workshop up to speed, here's a few pix of my latest fiddling on the lathe.
The first couple are of a ringed goblet I turned from a bit of Silky Oak salvaged from the kerb after one of the recent nasty wind storms thru the area. I was playing around trying a few different ideas for light tents when I realised: I'm not a photographer... why play at being one? So no apologies for pic quality. :p
The last ones are a small lidded box I quickly knocked up from assorted scraps in my firewood pile; a piece of Yellow Box with a River Redgum lid.
edit: Dammit! I didn't look at the pix before I UL'd 'em. And then I realised I hadn't placed the lid on properly before clicking away. Hence the finial seems to be skew whiff. It ain't... it's my photography that's skew whiff. :rolleyes:
