What would you call it ?

Now that we made it we dont know what to call it. The sizes are 46 inches tall. Bowl dia. Is 10 inches, the inside out turning base is 7 ? inches in dia..

In total 9 different pieces of wood. We were looking for something new to try so decided on the inside out turning and added from there to end up with what ever it is. Wally , the man from England that works with us glued it up and we used hose clamps also for security and our apprentice turner in the photo did the turning and finishing. Three full days of work after the last inside out turning glue up.

The wood is Red Dalmation.

If it were set on the bottom step in a staircase, it could be the bottom nule post. I guess it could be the upper nule post as well. Either way, that was my first thought when I saw the pic. Nice work. 8)

does the lid come off the bowl?

does the bowl come off the base??? or is it all glued up??

if the lid comes off the bowl, i would call it "The Helmeted bowl of equity"
cause it has to be worth a bundle!!!

awesome piece!!!

It is a bit top heavy and wouldnt be good around small kids but we passed that a long time ago. The wife now has it in the living room as a candy dish in a corner. Yes the top of the bowl does come off.
