Lidded box in walnut

So I finally got on the lathe and turned up a lidded box. It's Walnut with a little sparkly, blingy thingy in the finial. It took a bit of time. I'm not that experienced but i have high hopes. I'm having trouble with the tools. I've got no chuck and only got large gouge's so can't turn this size with anything but scrapers so after a few grabs and flying bits and a bit of ca I got it finished. It's finished with 5 coats of danish oil and a light rub each coat.
