Don’t ever think you can’t turn something. Now embellishing something that’s a different story. That’s where I have trouble. But turning is methodical. Approach it step by step. the box above has a waste block glued both ends then when held between centres I turn the box and waste blocks round...

Thanks. A lily pad box I made for wife’s sister at Christmas. Stabilized maple Burl.

Maple Burl stabilized with blue! African blackwood Top and bottom.

wow, I’m totally humbled by your comment, Gary. I too have gained a new friend! As per the box I was trying to make a Jakob Weisflog box ( woodturner from Germany). You have given me some amazing ideas. I’m going to make some new ones with multiple boxes that all rotate open around the other...

Hi from B.C. Canada!

Okay it’s 7:37 Christmas Eve in Canada. BUT it’s 2:37 Am Christmas Day in England. If a package is from England for Christmas does that mean I can open it now! This is a big dilemma. For me and the dog , who is staring at his Xmas stocking under the tree and whining! I better just go to bed and...

This is much more exciting than the Aaw draw in the USA. i love the part where everybody waits til Christmas, and the secret Santa stuff is great also. Thanks Phil. Can’t wait til pictures. And great for me as when I wake up, we are 5 hours or more behind ,there are always lots of new comments...

The straps where used because of how it was used and cleaned. Wet in day dry at night every day of the year. Huge contraction and expansion. You need the straps.

That is really bad workmanship. I’d be concerned about glue up and everything. Get your money back. It’s only going to fall apart in time. It is not even a factory second. It’s a duck up that should have been fixed.

And Christmas miracles do happen. A package from England arrived today. looks like customs was admiring whatever it is. But I’ll wait til Christmas to open! well the choc lab gave it the all clear. No food in it! Walked up one sniff and walked away!

Windermere, right beside Invermere. Bc/ Alberta border.

I live in b.c. Where was this store located. I wonder if it’s still around. My wife would love some of that . She loves fossils.

Maybe there is two things in it?

I now know, I can send it cheaply by regular Canada post to England, if I ship it 8-12 weeks before Christmas. So Phil I need to know the address of my secret santa person by Mid September next year. Just a heads up. Lol, haha.

Well done, Phil!!! Out resident Santa Claus. I can’t wait until next year already! I’ve got big plans. Maybe a box of twelve Xmas ornaments like we had when we where kids. Those fragile glass balls, only fragile wood ones! Lol. If I make one a month will be easy!
