I set up the camera today so a few more pictures to pester everyone with.
This is Black Gum with Osage lid and handle. The metal parts are brass. A couple of voids are filled with inlace. It is 8" in diameter and 10" high (to top of handle). The lid is threaded (my first threading in wood). I machined the threads on a metal lathe as I have not yet attempted hand chasing and doubt that the black gum is hard enough for chasing anyway. The finish is lacquer and has not been buffed out yet. The lettering was cut with a dremel and filled with black epoxy. C & C welcome.
