Default A couple of turned boxes

Both maple - about 2 and a half inches diameter - 4 to 5 inches high finials are zebrawood and coralwood.

The woodburning was an experiment using a thingyummy (no idea what it's called!) that is meant for removing clay pots from a wheel .. works great though I think I need to shorten it a little ..!

Constructive criticism and comments on shape, design, etc are always welcome.

Turned boxes? I thought boxes were square/rectangular? LOL Cool stuff Ian. I haven't done it, but I've heard just a bare piece of wire, wrapped around 2 pieces of wood for handles, works really good for burning lines. Keep up the good work!!

All right PM!!! Nice looking hunks of wood with burnt lines on them.

Can't compliment the "boxes" if the lids aren't off to show the inside

Very nice turning there! I like the wood combinations and the shapes are pleasing to the eye.

Very nice boxes Ian.
Such fun to make and such a good seller at craft sales because there are never two the same. I find it is mostly the ladies that buy them for earings and such but sometimes men will buy them as gifts for their wives for the same purpose.
I have made a few dozen boxes and I am right out again . I will be making a bunch more right soon again to fill in sold out stock.

I sometimes show different views of some I make to include lid on and off and the inside. Here is one such case.
