box

As always, more and better quality images & descriptions are on my site of all my pieces. Box Elder, turned wet to final thickness of 1/8". A fun project, except for the smell of stinky feet. The vase lived in a paper bag full of Box Elder wood chips for 2 weeks before sanding and...

Here is a box in box elder that I dyed 3" tall and 3 1/2" in diameter that was cut slightly off vertical. The dye showed up some curl that was barely visible before the coloring process.

A little box in chechen 2" tall and 2 1/2" in diameter.

I turned this from some Cherry I cut down in the yard. It was supposed to be stock for turning fruit, but it was so cracked and wormy by the time I got to it, I could only get small boxes out of it. Body: Cherry Insert: Walnut, Crape Myrtle, and Cherry 2-1/8 x 2-7/16 Gel Poly finish Not...

This lidded box was referred to as "Tweety Bird's Urn" :) by a fellow woodturner. The Sorby texturing tool was used to make the spirals.

Another little hollow form. Box Elder, 3"H x 3-3/4"W. Sanded to 800, finished with Seal-A-Cell, and buffified.

Pair of lidded boxes from Walnut, Bubinga, and Curly Maple. Approximately 4 1/2" tall x 2 3/4" dia. I am a newbie turner (and photographer). Please let me know what you think. I believe I thought too much about trying to get a nice lid fit, and shape the inside and not enough on...

Piece is 6 1/2 x 2 3/4 x 3/16th walls. Finish is General Finishes Poly and triple buffed.

I say it is big because it is much larger than most boxes I turn at 2 1/2" tall and a little over 4" in diameter from a very dry piece of walnut I have had in my shop for quite a while. I managed to turn it to a uniform 1/8" thickness except for the top and bottom which are...

Pear Box with Black Walnut Finial. 3 1/2" w. x 6" h. My first experiment with trying a cross grain box. I can understand now, why most boxes are turned end grain. Even though this beautiful piece of wood was thoroughly dry, it still moved and warped slightly and the lid needed some...

A piece of silver maple turned into a box shape inspired by Richard Raffan's spire series and dyed. The box is 2 3/4" in diameter and 5" tall.

segmented zebrawood with african blackwood. about 11" x5 1/2". inspired by Cindy Drozda and Mark Kauder.

6" wide by 5" tall. Handle/finial is ebonized walnut. Comments welcome.

Here is another in the series of beaded boxes I am currently working on. This one is in shedua and is 2 1/4" tall and 3 1/2" in diameter.

Box Elder. 3-1/8"H x 3-7/8"W. Seal-A-Cell and buffed.

Mesquite box with chatter on end and side grain about 3 X 1 - One would never guess that I made this after spending the day with Bonnie Klein.

Been making boxes for Christmas so thought I would post a couple of pictures of what I have been doing. This is probably one of my favorite box shapes. Made of Honey Locus about 3X3.

These started out as ring boxes but now people buy them for baby's first ornament or just to put little gifts in. They're kinda hard to turn because the lid(bottom) fits inside the bell so you can't chuck it the way you would a regular box. Figured Maple and Cocobolo finish with Lacquer and wax.
