Yes it does! The problem (you and discussed) with the globe was even though 
I could see through the lath object, it was rendering the volume of the 
object until I figured out how to close the spline.

The grey object on the right is a bed warmer .... fill it with hot water and 
it goes between the sheets (down by your toes), and yes perhaps a little 
more work is needed! It's a union of lathe object and a rounded box. Any 
ideas how to smooth the transition from base to lathe object?

The table could probably use a little more normal work, but the edges ... 
well I have this table in the shop, pretty crude primitive construction. The 
methods of the period (c1840) never broke the edges like you're suggesting. 
Not round legs either ... basic straight egdes and tapered ... pegged 
together, NO NAILS!!!

Thanks!
Jim
