Nice design Derek

That's nice, very different.

How did you hold the lid ? Or am I being thick ?

You hollowed it out first right? Then shaped the top?

 

[Paul]

Clever use of another wood for the rim to prevent any grain miss match.

Thank you all, I can not take credit for the shape except me turning it the shape is not a new one some people call it an onion shaped box

That's nice, very different.

I had a chucking point at each end before parting at the join. Turned the majority of the outside then the interior I used the base as a chucking point as it was a pop fit so as to complete the outside and the point. That is the very basic answer without going into a blow by blow account of turning the whole thing
