Wonderful Woody, and I'm staring at it trying to figure out how to go about making something similar.

Hi Ray the bowl part was made in the same manner as a standard bowl the lid was first mounted on a faceplate to create the bottom and the spigot to fit in the bowl remove the face plate then remount the bowl fit the lid in it bring up the tail stock then complete the top of the lid to match the shape of the bowl and make the knob which will have a bit that the tailstock has marked now reverse mount the lid if you have some button jaws and clean up the top of the knob if you dont have any button jaws then clean up the knob with a chisel I also reversed the bowl and removed the dovetail recess hope this helps mate happy turning

Hi Woody yes that explains it. I have a lump of spalted beech 7in dia by 4in I was hoping to make a box with, and I had in mind to make the whole thing from that piece but maybe I should make the lid separately?
