A couple of boxes i finished today...

Here's a few pics of a couple of boxes that i've just completed.....


The first is a Goncalo Alves box that's been in the making for around three weeks now, just not had time to finish it.....

'her indoors' says it looks like tortoise shell....

And the second is one i made this afternoon, a small ring box. It's the first of several items i've been asked to make by one of my sisters friends....

Hope you like..? and as always comments welcomed.

Both look good to me. The first is a beautiful wood isn't it?

Nick, a couple of fine lidded boxes, the first is my favorite, the fit of the lid is a little bit tapered, isn't it. The wood is beautiful !!
Good work.

Both looking good to me Nick. Agree with er indoors it does look very much like tortoise shell. Like them both but the first appeals to me a tad more.

Nice boxes, Nick - that Goncalo Alves has really spectacular grain.

Very nice indeed Nick! Like them both and I personally love G. Alves.

It looks like everyone has been very busy in here over the past few weeks. I've not been turning much recently due to flat stuff needed doing plus hols.

Glad to see you all having fun!

cheers

As others have said, two lovely boxes.

I particularly like the Goncalo Alves box, beautiful grain.


Cheers. Doug.

Ad.... i think the photos are up to my usual awful standard..... .... and do admit to what you're saying, it does look a bit wonky, but the lid fit is totally parallel and not tapering at all......



Thanks all for the comments.

Lovely couple of boxes Nik,but i'm not keen on the gold coloured thread used on the Beech.Think it would look better as you've made the first which is gorgeous

That GA box is a stunner. Looks smooth as glass !
