Tick another one Finished
This was started last summer I have had time enough to ponder the finial, base, and lid.
Main body is segmented (4 bits ) Spalted English Oak, Lid is English Oak also, Base is Jarrah as is finial and top ring, stem is Jacaranda.
Height base to top of finial 220, dia 100.
Took another photo indoors in the wifes sewing room.

Ray, I turned loads of oak, but never spalted oak.
Man that looks great. By seeing the picture my first thought was seeing a huge thing.
But it isn't not so huge, but it looks okay for me, despite a pointed finial are not my favorite finial, it's just a matter of taste.

Interesting work there Ray. The spalted timber sure adds to the effect
Just a couple of points :
#The base, IMHO, would have been better served if the Oak had been flared out to blend in with the base.At the moment it looks as though the continer will topple off.
# The finial would have looked better with one long taper. Again, just my opinion.

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

I have to thank Cornucopia for the hints on the finish for the Oak
Thanks for the comments.
The base is the same dia as the Jarrah top bit, the finial is one of the pieces I took time to decide on (well all of it really) I tried looking at it with a wider base taller finial would look good but I would have to change the lid. This could still happen as personally its the part I don't like.
