During the initial period of my wood-turning journey I very rarely made a bowl, even though many of the already well known turners of that time focused almost exclusively on bowls.  Instead,  I made vessels with lids.   Although initially primitive,  these vessels evolved over time into a distinct style, first using exotic and domestic woods in concentric construction designs,  then primarily using burl wood  which I sourced myself,  some of it from the campus of Haverford College which I attended in the 60's.
       Below you can see images of a few of these vessels in chronological order.
