I rough turned this small closed form Apple bowl a few years ago, it sat in the shop and I picked it up a few times to finish it, I didn't because I found that the size and shape called for a lid.
Not having a piece of wood that would look right with it, I kept putting it back, finally thought that a copper lid might go with it, and so I finish turned it and then went to look for a piece of copper in my saved copper pile, (small pile)
First thought of spinning the copper, but it somehow didn't appeal to me, and then I decided to hammer it into shape, spun just the edge to have it sit flat and make it circular, then turned a small Cocobolo knob and fastened that to the lid with a small SS screw.
This was the outcome, It got confiscated as soon as LOML laid eyes on it, found a place in our hallway
Any and all comments welcome as always
Sorry for the less than perfect pictures, the photo booth is still not done and it was not easy making pictures with all the reflections of the wood and the copper lid
