Keepsake Box
I wanted a project to try out my new wedge sled so this is the result. It is a keepsake box made from pecan wood and the top is a starburst of 12 wedges of Chinaberry wood. The sled cut very accurately! It has 1/8" steel pivots in the sides of the top. It is 8" x 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" high and finished with Danish Oil and then 3 -stage buffed and waxed ..

That's pretty cool! I haven't used my Miter-Set that I bought a long time ago. I was going to do segmented turning.

Chinaberry wood? What the heck is that? Never heard of it. Beautiful. Absolutely love the starburst lid. You should do a tutorial for us. 👍

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
The clean design of the box really let's that lid be the star. Great project!
That Chinaberry lid is fabulous. The wedges are as tight as a Nuns (#%+and the box comes together beautifully. Nice job Jim. I too would love to see a Blog on making the sled..
