Lidded bowl with finial

First time trying to turn a finial, the one on the lid is actually the fifth. …. it took a lil bit to get that thin turning down but after i figured out to be constantly sharpening the skew it got a lot easier. Hope everyone gobbled till they wobbled over the holiday.

look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, no it's a big hunk of the bowl I was turning.

Beautiful bowl, love it!

I guess the coin is on the underside of the lid? Very nice bowl.

Yes it is, sorry I should have went into more detail. I got a little carried away drilling the hole to mount the finial so I inlaid a old 1902 v nickel.

Very nice turning Jeffrey
