Thuya Burl Capsule Box II

This box is a smaller version of my original Thuya Burl Capsule Box. Same wood and shape, so I now have a set of two! Turned, hollowed, and finished with wax and gloss lacquer. This particular blank has a nice concentration of burl eyes and colors!

Super nice Gabriel. I assume you use jam chucks to finish off the outside of each half?
 
Gabriel Hoff
Thank you Paul! I actually only use a jam chuck for the bottom. I fit the lid on the base and turn the top tenon off with it being assembled. That way I can get a nice profile before I hollow the bottom.

Another beauty Gabriel! In segmenting, it’s said we have zero/ little waste wood! I love how you show that even the smaller “chunks” of wood can be huge eye grabbers when done with your attention to detail!!

Yes Russ, this blank was about 1.75 inches square so I had to figure out the best shape for such a small box blank! The cylinder shaped boxes look better if they are larger in diameter, so a capsule shape was called for on this one!!
