If you still have a bit of thickness, I would return it to the lathe for 3 issues. One, take that corner off at the transitions, top and bottom, where you transition into the flat side. Two, round out that flat side. Don't know why "flatness" doesn't work except that maybe our eye wants the piece to be "round" in both directions. Third, introduce some features, grooves, burn lines, etc., that will camoflauge the glue line.
Hey thanks Rev!
Your comments are very welcome!..never looked at it that way but your right it would look alot better with the change...practice...practice as they say

I agree w/Doug. A more rounded shape would help. You could also turn an "ornate" cover for it and have a very nice covered pot.
Hey thanks Rev!
