Teacher Appreciation Swivel Pencil Boxes
I made a couple of these swivel pencil boxes for 2 of my grandchildren for Christmas gifts in 2021. A week ago they asked me to make some to give to their teachers for teacher appreciation day.
Intent on using up some scraps, I made the bodies from some poplar I had and made the bottom plates and sliding top from Purple Heart(2), padauk, cherry and Spalted maple.
While building the 3 for the teachers, I built 2 to put in the gallery.
Names laser engraved. Finished with shellac and wax.

That's a great gift idea.
These are nice, and I bet teachers will love them. Well done.
