The form, texture, and color all work. The total is more than the sum.
Super nice piece love the texture, If you would what did you use for the texturing.

Yep, another winner. I like the idea of poly on the inside. I'm assuming the poly was applied by hand since spraying the inside makes it tough to get good results.
I need to get some of those candy metal flake colors, I like the look.
That is a beauty. I like the texture and color.

Thanks everyone
Yes, poly was applied by hand on the inside with a paper towel. I use Autoair colors
The arcs are done free-hand by pivoting the hand as you describe.
I do employ some reference marks however. I use the indexing feature of the lathe to lay out 12 sections, then use a 2" sanding disk as a template to draw a few arcs on each section. With those as a reference, I can follow those lines on each section.
