Pet Urn continues-working on the lid

Hello All,

I'm having some problems with posting photos here today-not sure why. But I did manage to turn a lid for the urn. I had a block of mahogany I was saving for something special but I can't for the life of me find it so I went with a similarily sized block of cypress, which is not the best turning wood. It's too soft for the slow speeds my lathe is only capable of right now. It tore and crumbled and was in general a bit of a headache to turn. I did get it turned however. It needs more shaping but I think it might work.
If I can refine the lines of the lid I will.
If I can figure out how to post photographs later, I will so you can see it.
Stay tuned,
VW
