Rice bowl
Sapele, redheart, yellowheart, purpleheart, pau ferro, ebony, and granadillo for the handle. 6.5" diameter, 4" H bowl, 6' to the top of the handle. finished with Tung oil and Ack's abrasive paste and wax.
I just like it! I don't know quite what adjectives to use. How about elegantly functional. (an adverb and an adjective) I think I might have liked it even better if the top and bottom rings were more "related."

Thanks Rick. I usually tie things together like you suggested but I think in this case it would become too busy :)
 
That’s a lovely form Paul! I am a big fan of busy (allegedly); I’m also a great fan of the thin veneers you have used. My 2 cents would be add the veneers to the PH band on the lid and the Redheart band at the lid; these rings will likely disappear as the wood colors fade. Perhaps the subtile white veneer used between the feature strip segments Would be just enough! Well done on this beauty!
 
This is very good. Excellent form. I do agree with RB's suggestions about the lid insert band and the added visual impact with a white veneer line on top and bottom sides.
