Greetings,
There was no particular plan in making these Boxes. I just selected some bits and pieces of wood from my stack and fiddled about till I got some presentable round stock turned on the Lathe.
Parted shaped and hollowed and sanded.
Several coats of Danish Oil then waxed and hand Buffed.

Regards......Cliff.

old bits of hard wood from my wood pile.

Wood Lathe Wood Fast. Was made in Australia now Made in China.

Hi Eric. Thank you. They were great fun to make.
I have heaps of end grain stock which would be great for lidded Boxes and small bowls.
Bowls are best from side grain, but small end grain bowls would be good.
Great practice to develop some turning skills!!!!!
Regards......Cliff.

Everyone seems to like a little lidded Box to put things in.

Hi Ron. Thank you. The Boxes were only 3 inches high for the largest one.
I must remember to put more detail in my description.
