Here’s a small vessel that I finally finished last week. I say ‘finally’ because I started it in the early summer and it has been just sitting on the bench all this time waiting for a lid. I guess I should have said that I ‘finally’ finished the lid.

It is made of Maple with a Walnut lid and finial. With the finial it sits in at 8″ tall. Without the finial it is 3″ tall. By my calculations that would make the finial 5″ tall. It is also 5″ in diameter.

I was very pleased with the final result. It’s a shape that I find very pleasing. I have also added a little secret fun to the vessel too!

Here’s a few more photos showing different aspects of the vessel. This one shows the inside of the bowl:

This one shows the bottom of the lid:

And here’s another shot from the top:

It is certainly nice to have this vessel completed. There were so many times that I looked at it, trying to decide what style of lid that I thought would best suit it.

Oh, the little secret fun? Well, here, have a look for yourself (Sorry for the picture quality but this is my first foray into video. ):

Since the bowl waited so long to have a lid I thought that I would make something a bit special, so I made a spin top lid! LOL!
