I cut down the diseased Ornamental Plum...
I have a lot of shedua in my box turning inventory and I love to turn this wood. It can have a bit of an odd smell while you are cutting it but it turns so predictably, finishes nicely and remains stable. I like this wood. This box is 2 1/2" tall and 3 1/2" in diameter. Comments...
This is a Manitoba Maple (box elder) "hollowed through the bottom" piece. It measures about 9 3/4 inches tall and has been dyed with aniline dyes.
Here is a little beaded box, 1 7/8" tall and 2 1/2" in diameter turned from wood labeled as Mexican cocobolo. Hollowed exceptionally well and smelled wonderful. A delicious piece of wood to turn....

Its a little one ... 2 1/2" tall by 4 1/2" wide.
I went with a little wider opening on this one, I think it fits the...
A couple of small Hollow Forms turned from the scrap pieces of Box Elder burl. The scrap pieces were to nice to burn and I like turning small stuff, its quick and easy. Love that burl grain!
Rough turned green and then nuked to dry them out. Around 3 inches tall and a wall thickness of a...
Here is a little box in Santos Rosewood about 2" tall and 2 3/4" in diameter. In the picture it almost looks like it is the same size in both directions...Comments appreciated.
