I'm fairly new to turning - mostly having done bowls. Now, I'm taking a stab at hollow forms. I've made a couple of urns for family pets. While I was pleased with the outcome of the first 2, this one is just not right to my eye. I'm not sure why. Any help/opinions are welcomed.
The cherry turned very well and is hollowed to 3/8" thickness. The cherry is 10" tall, 5.25" at the widest point, 3" at the top, and presently the bottom is 3", but I had planned on having it 2" before removing from the turning plate.
The lid is walnut: 3" base, 1.5" tall.
I'm thinking one problem might be the simplicity of design with relatively straight forward wood "pattern". Could be the height is just too tall for the width.
I think it could be salvaged as a lamp - then I would make a base from what remains for added weight.
