Thanks for the replies. Tom, I'm making lids for Oui yogurt containers. I got the idea from Sally Ault who posted some on another site. On this one I've used the dying technique I saw on Tim Yoder's site. The wood is soft maple. I stopped at Bennett's hardwood to get some curly hard maple but they didn't have any. The owner said to try soft maple as curl is more frequently found in it.

I turn it round and put a small tenon on one end, the reverse it in my chuck and make the final tenon which is the part that goes inside the jar. I then reverse that and hold that tenon to finsh the top. I don't want marks on the piece that goes inside the jar. (Note, Sally put an o ring around the tenon for a tight fit) Beyound my pay grade right now.
