Well, this is my first attempt a turning a lidded vessel. Cut from green cherry, it was smoothed slightly with a green 3M sanding pad, but otherwise right off the lathe. The finish is not as bright and shiny as it should be once dried and finished.
I left the lid tenon slightly oversize so that after drying, there would be some stock left to fit it into the cup perfectly. When dry, I plan to coat it with tung oil and polish it out - assuming it doesn't split in half. :-\
