Thanks everyone for taking time to comment. I appreciate it!
Dale, thanks for the comment on the knob. I'm glad you looked at it that close. I had mixed feelings about it too. It seems like such a minor thing but I originally put one on with just a round knob and didn't like it that well. It was kind of hard to hold onto and maybe too small. So I made this one that the round knob sits up off the lid. It's easier to hold onto but I'm seeing what you're saying about the rest of it not matching the rest of the piece.
Justin, that might be the most rewarding comment I've ever gotten. Thanks so much! Now fire up that lathe and make some shavings. There's nothing like hands on experience and making mistakes to teach you. We all started at ground zero just like you and we're all growing with every new piece we try.
