    Can you take pictures with a different back ground so we can see more clearer.

    Overall it looks ok

    Nice work.

    Not sure about the cove in the box top, and the supporting arc looks a bit lumpy to me.
    Cheers, Ern

    I quite like it myself, particularly the curved support but a different color background would be good its hard to make out the object clearly.

    I think the concept is fine.

    But as Ern has said, it looks "lumpy". I'd like to see the same box done to say 2-3mm thick and see what happens....

    Looks good to me,perhaps a thinner cross section to the support arch, as it tends to take away from the container . The thinner cross section would give the effect of suspension better.

    But over all darn good effort

    Hi a23...welcome to the best forum around

    I agree with the other comments, plus I'd like to add that the finial is not quite in proportion, could do with a "slim" down...other than that it's a good turning.

    Tell us a bit about yourself, how long turning, etc.
    Cheers,
    Ed
