That's just stunning; well done!

I am speechless. That is an absolutely stunning piece. Something I would like to see being made. The numerous processes.

Wow, that is an incredibly detailed and beautiful piece.

Okay guys I'll show you a few photos of making this piece. First I did not count how many pieces are in it and I do not keep track of time while working, I started working on the body in November. This piece is segmented in sections the neck & body I'll show a better photo. The spout was turned and drilled w/ 3/8 th drill bit first, this is the longest piece I can drill on my lathe. then the curve was cut w/ miter saw and reassembled then shaped smooth. after that I drilled more out on a drill press. The body is two bowls and a center segmented ring that was drilled for the neck & spout then each was matched up to fit the curves and glued w/ epoxy. The top & hing are separate pieces and the handle was seven 1/8" strips of walnut steam bent and glued back together.
Here's a few photos

Magical piece......

Thank you very much Lyle I posted some of the photos I took while making this but didn't pick up the camera as much as I thought if anybody has questions I will gladly answer them if I can. Cheers

You may have a problem now though, how will you beat that!!!!!!!?
I work of art. I like it too without the handle and spout
