Woodturning, Burning, Coloring A Different Box Style

Our club challenged us to turn a box according to the style of Benoit Averly who demonstrated at the Utah Woodturning Symposium. His style included boxes with tall tapered lid textured and stained with a finial.
But I still like to put my own stamp on a project. Instead of texturing the entire surface with carving, I used my pyrography gear. Instead of staining the entire surface, I opted for a variegated red, orange, yellow surface.
My box is about 9 inches tall including the finial and about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Colors are red, yellow, and black alcohol dyes. It is finished with rattle can lacquer. Red and yellow dyes were applied with a Richeson atomizer. Black dyes were applied with cotton Que-tips.
