Oriental Style Box

My youngest daughter and her husband like oriental things. I thought Ray Key's piece on the woodturners catalog would be something they would like. My rendition is maple burl (spalted and punky) with a walnut base and a claro walnut lid. The base is about 6 1/2" wide and 2 1/2" tall. The box is 5" tall and 3" in diameter. The lid with the finial is about 2 1/2" tall. Overall it stands about 8" tall. Your comments and suggestions are very much requested.

Very well crafted and your selection of wood colors and textures is right on the mark.

Ken, what a well balanced piece, great job!
Is the base a single piece, it's hard to tell in the photo.

Thanks for sharing. Amazing how timing works in life - I have been conceptualizing a piece from the same inspiration. When I finish I hope mine measures up to yours.

Cheers

The base is a single piece. I turned a block about 4" x 4" x 6" and then cut to width on a band saw.
