Well done if it pleases you thats what matters IMO.

Nice one, love the pierced detail on the sycamore.

very nice,

just a shame the pierced detail on the finial isn't regular, kinda spoiled it for me when i zoomed in on it.

Sorry - im being very critical today - even my breakfast has some issues with it ...................

It's a nice piece. I really like the pierced detail on the final and the shape of the little top cone,

I have only two minor criticisms.

The top shape of the main form - which looks as though the curve has a bit of a flat to it towards the edge of the piece (although this may just be the limitations of seeing a photo rather than the real piece).

The top part of the finial - here the change where the thicker, more bulbous center part meets the narrow top stem seems a bit too abrupt and I'd rather see it as a smoother overall curve.

Hi

its a like / no like for me as below

The body shape is good and the foot sits / fits well to the body

The lower section of the lid is also good ,
from then on up it does not work ,
the spiraling / carving is a bit irregular and the join between the 3 sections need to flow ,
at the moment it gives the impression that the finial has been cut in half and the spiral section has been added , no flowing joins

Maybe have another go at a lid assembly

with the lid sorted you will have a excellent item

Thanks for showing us :mrgreen:

agree with the comments about the finial - my thoughts exactly
the pierced part was intended to be irregular however I do see now that it can be improved.
the main form is fine really - no flat on the top bit,must be the pic
