Masur birch boxes

This trio of boxes were turned on first weekend of our box/hollowform course. I was teaching at box turning course and these were my demonstration pieces of that weekend. Perhaps students got some inspiration. These are small, round one is about 2-2 1/2" diameter. Masur birch and blackwood, cubical box has goldfield burl lid with unknown pen blank finial. That finial is intentionally leaning to one direction. Pod box was multi-axis exercise. Pod and cube are textured with Arbortech.

All comments and critique are welcome.
I likes these, the middle one especially, for some reason. You have given me inspiration to try a few new shapes for boxes. Thanks.

These are really nice and interesting. I wish we had masur birch readily (and inexpensively) available in the US. I'm curious about how you did the multiaxis box did you do the multiaxis turning before you hollowed it and fit the lid? Also, did you use a special fixture to hold the blank for multiaxis turning? Sorry for all the questions. Again very nice work!

As with much of what you produce, these boxes are truly "outside the box." Keep it up.
