Harvesting Turned Autumn Pumpkin Box

This project is a great multi-axis box in the form of a pumpkin.
The twist is that the lines on the pumpkin continue into the lid, thus integrating the lid and base portions.
This wood is honey locust which has a great color and grain. However, it is so hard and brittle that I would recommend a more friendly wood such as cherry.
The box is spherical and based on the octagon method for turning spheres.
The box is about 4 inches round plus a stem carved from sapele. All finished with shellac.
Enjoy.
Interesting technique with glueing the lid in position to turn the overall shape Alan. Thanks.

Yes, another viewer suggested the technique.
It works but make sure the glue holds.
