Fancy box, fancy packer. Only the finest things in life for me! :-)

LOL, but seriously, is this not the greatest hobby ever? You get to make beautiful AND useful stuff AND have fun doing it? Sometimes I wonder why everyone doesn’t do it.

Oh, and i didn’t post this box, but it’s maple with walnut keys. I’m not crazy about it. It’s plain maple which turns out to be not very interesting to look at. It also gets dirty easily (mostly from my brass zippo lighter leaving oxidization on it from all the rustling in my pocket). Maybe it needs a different finish.

I like this a lot, I also have gotten too many whiffs of CA smoke. Nasty stuff.

look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, no it's a big hunk of the bowl I was turning.

Good looking Brian, walnut nice touch. I use to be a 3 “box” a day user but quit 30 years ago. I still at times want one as bad as the day I quit.
