I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?

Have to agree with the others, a lovely piece. Shape, piercing, it all works for me.

Well, that one's certainly different, isn't it! It's a real winner and such an unusual idea to let the pattern of the piercing flow through the lid as well. One question....are all the areas of piercing outlined by (and therefore, dictated by) spalt-lines?

     Thank You  Les  Much Appreciated.
     All the piercing is within and dictated by the spalt lines..... I really had to concentrate to keep it in the Those lines  ;D ;D
     Nearly slipped a couple of times. I did the dark parts because it was a lot firmer.

Sorry to be different to everybody else, if I work out what I'll post again.

Now that I do like. I find that 20 minutes at a time is my limit for piercing work, I also find that it is easier to do the thinner the piece being pierced.

I do not understand the circle in the third picture. It is pierced all round why hasn't it fell out ?
