Most interesting! How did you turn the box with the open area on the sides as shown in Picture #2? I would think that you would have a time with the tool catching. Love to know your technique. Thanks for sharing the turning. Oh yes, what finish?
Nice work.
Looks challenging, therefore, rewarding.

Shape is totally enchanting, wonderful! Thanks for posting. Do you expect it will hold its color?

Panning for Montana gold, with Betsy, the mule!

As with others here, I really do like how that turned out!

That is some sweet!
Love the base and the open wing type detail. I can see this as something my wife would like to have for jewelry besides it being a very attractive piece.
The tall finial on the lid isn't to my liking. That feature seems to be very trendy now. Having seen someone basically stabbing their hand on a similar tall finial which almost amounted to an upright spear makes me dubious of the feature in what could be a useful box.

Beautiful! Love the finial. It is a delicate box so anybody approaching it has to be gentle!
Beautiful wood and very nice work.
