John,

The shape is great and the fluting on the bowl rim sits well as an added feature.

Not sure about 3 different woods though. At least if the lid had been of a dark or single colour timber I think it would have worked better.

Nice work John

For me I think a tall black finial could have made it go pop  :) But that's just down to personal taste.

I like the contrast in timbers between the base and the lid it looks very well turned and finished.

All the best
