Just a small box I made a while back. I used figured maple for the lid and the little division strips on the side. Alder for the box sides. I added store bought inlay for the design, and made some funky little feet that I still don’t know if I like. Maybe I’ll change them some day.
I made the knob and feet out of Mahogany, and gave it a lacquer finish.
Thanks for looking

Bently,
Nice to see some more of your work. This is really different from your other projects. Did you lathe it or employ another method? If I could get the angles correct for the joints so that it didn’t fall apart, I could see using a jig to sand it round. I don’t turn ;-( not yet anyway!
We hope you’ll re-post some of your fabulous projects from the past here.

Thanks Moment.
Thanks L/W,
I just cut it round on the band saw and then hand sanded it (no jig) smooth with my edge sander. I don’t have a lathe, but it’s on my list. Not sure if I’ll re-post anything or not. If there’s anything that you can remember that you would like to see again I would be glad to put it up for you. :) I’m going to give this site some time for a while and see how it progresses before I get to involved. Hopefully it will fill with nice people such as yourself..

Thanks lanwater,
I appreciate the comment. (sorry I’m so late to reply)
Projects don’t come back to the front, so sadly many will be forgotten unless they are being followed. I don’t like that. Wish they would surface when someone commented so you wouldn’t have to follow every project to keep up with them.

Beautiful box! Well done!
