Here's a little natural edge lidded piece. This is my first piece on a pedestal. The finial and pedestal are African blackwood. It's about 10 inches tall and 8 inches wide. Finished with shellac and tung oil.



Comments and criticism appreciated.

Well done! I looked over on SMC to see if there was a pic w/ the lid off. Even better, you had some in-progress shots. For others who may be curious: http://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=147563.

Here you go, Tony. It wasn't a great photo, so I didn't include it in the original post.
