Hi Tony
I don't do a lot of segmenting, but I quite like the diagonal pattern of the lid, but the lower rings all look like they are leaning to the left and I presume they should have been a brick pattern but none are lined up to achieve the brick pattern,and look to be all different thicknesses, the finial could do with being a bit more slender, I don't know why you would go to all the trouble of segmenting the lower piece then cover it up with paint. I think it would have looked much better with the diagonal segmenting on the upper and lower sections, just my opinion though, I do like the little stand that it sits on, what size is the box?
regards
Andy
