crooked box

I have used the Escoulen chuck number 1 to turn this sycamore eccentric box, 6" 172 tall, diameter 6".
The turning of the box and of the lid is first done following the traditional settings, then each is off centered to turn the foot on the box and the top of the lid threw which goes the stem.
The latter is 10" long in box wood, and the turning is similar to the one used for the box. I first turned a long stem with a traditional foot then offcentered it on the Escoulen chuck to obtain the fancy comma on the top.
