This is the first Potpourri Pot that I have made. I varied away from the (what appears to be) standard design by shaping this one different and making it about 6" X 6". It has nine rings with the top and bottom being solid, the others are 16 segments per ring. The wood is Spanish Cedar with a Walnut rim.
I hope Dave Haughs (or someone) will chime in and tell me where to get the potpourri lids like Dave used on his Pots; I really like those. I got mine from Woodcraft (I think) and they pale in comparison to those Dave used.
As always, I am open to criticism, ridicule, boos or kudos. So, what ya think?

Thinking "outside the box" on a potpourri pot seems to be rare, but I like it. I agree about the covers, I find it hard to find covers that I like. Nice job Bill, on this and all work in the background.

Bill great looking pot. I would check with Hallmark in their candle section. I saw both of those down at ours and had her order me a couple along with a couple of more like the one I posted.

nice job Bill.
I think your segmenting work is of a very high caliber on this piece. A very nice and functional piece that most likely took a lot longer to assemble than to turn.....
I also like the spanish cedar..... that has to add to the project's overall worth.

Bill, as always, your segmented work is first rate! I like the deviation from the norm with the shape/form of this one, and the wood selection is a good fit.
Nice background selection, as well!!

Nicely done. I like the unique shape.
You do realize that wood is available in larger chunks of sufficient size to allow for turning a vessel from a single piece?:rolleyes::D Seriously, you do very nice segmented work, and I envy the patience you have to make these forms.

That's a great PP bill, I always think the one's i have done were too small, however I followed the rule dictated by SWMO.
