Finished this up late this morning. Gots to admit I do like it. The wood was sealed with my usual walnut oil and then finished with several coats of walnut oil/shellac mixed. The outside diameter is 10 1/4" with the inside lip at 7". The total height is 5 3/4" with the vessel depth of 3 1/2". You can state the volume in two ways: 3/4 gallon of water which it held fine, or almost 2 regular packages of Oreo Cookies. Or, you might figger a boat load of M&M's. I burned some lines on the inside of the lid for decorative purposes as well as on the topside of it. Lots of spalting in it as this is I think the last of my "swamp pecan". Might have some cut offs that I can do something small with, not sure. There is a tad bit more meat on the sides getting near the bottom than I would have liked, but it just wasn't cooperating with me. My hollowing tool was shaking the beejeevers out of me no matter the angle or sharpness so I got to the point of where I said what it is it is. Period. Still holds a lot of stuff. Hopes you all likes it.
