variation on a theme

Here is my latest segmented box. Through a series of oopses, I ended up with a lid whose lip goes on the inside instead of the typical suction fit, but it seems to work. Sanded to 600 grit. Buffed with carnuba wax.

Fine looking box, Ned. Is the join at the bottom of the second ring down from the top? The finish is very nice for just wax. It looks a bit like a vase positioned upside down; a finial of some sort might alter that notion (?).

Yep, that is the join. I like the finial idea, but wasn't sure how to do it and keep the segmented look. I will have to think about that one.

My idea [as a serious novice], if you need to retain the visual flow of a segmented piece, would be to use to same woods, and do a vertical segmented finial and /or a vertical spiral; or maybe a vertical, helical. Whew! That calls for a sip.

I think the best so far has been the one phil got. I don't like the foot of this one much, but was trying for something different.
