Finally after making much much firewood I succeeded in making a box with a lid that fitted.
Pictures aren't all that good but I don't care cause I've done it at last.

Well what can I say certainly an interesting shape is the little bit at the top for rings. Looks like it is well turned and finished

Derek I had never used a parting tool before so was finding it a bit awkward to part on that side which was against the chuck (the thumb now knows to keep away from the chuck)
anyway i found it easier to leave a finial. I now prefer your idea so its now a ring holder. Thank you for that.

May have been easier to use a jam chuck that way the fingers are not near the chuck, just complete and clean as much as possible before parting then use the jam chuck

 

[Winemaker]

Well done that's a good effort

Derek I would have an awful lot of firewood trying to make a jam chuck. That would be just as tight if not tighter than a box lid.

Fun with pine and grain like them they appeal.

Peter.
