A new selection of box's

[cornucopia]

hello folks here we have some recent box work

lignum vitae- 100year old recycled lawn green bowling ball
2 1/2" tall by 1 1/2" wide- finished with EEE and shellwax

Olivewood-
2 1/2" tall by 1 3/4"- finishe dwith EEE and shellwax

Boxwood- I have been very lucky with this current batch of boxwood-i bought two limbs 5' long by 3 to 4" diameter about 5 years ago. they didnt split in the round like they normally do and i have roughed several out and have seasoned them in the house for about 18months and they've dried really well. this is the first box i've made from the batch.
2 1/2" tall by 3 1/8" wide- finished with lemon oil

Black with gold pearlex polyester resin
2 1/2" tall by 1 3/4" wide dry sanded to 1200 then EEE and renwax

Very unusual blue and white swirl polyester resin
2"tall by 2" wide dry sanded to 1200grit then EEE and renwax

All very nice George and to your usual standard.

I dont turn many boxes myself but every time I see yours I keep telling myself I must do some but I will need a lot of practise to get to your level.

Beautiful shapes and the quality is as good as always. Personal taste I am not keen o the non wood variations but they aren't for me so it doesn't matter :lol:

Hi George,

Very nice boxes, like 'em all, but the first one is a corker IMHO. :lol:

Hi George,

Beautiful boxes to your usual impeccable standard.
My favourite is the Lignum vitae, beautiful grain.

Hi George,
Excellent selection of boxes and my favorites are the lignum and the olive wood but still like the others in second place.
Regards,

Excellent selection of boxes, George. I particularly like the Lignam one (although on my monitor the colour makes it look more like cocobola!)

The ones in alternative materials work very well (reminding me I have a couple of pieces of this myself that I really ought to get around to making something out of....)

Great stuff as always George.
That last one looks like porcelain in the photo - almost willow pattern colours given the Dali treatment...

What's EEE by the way?

Superb. And another vote for the lignum one.
The "porcelain" one is technically excellent, but not really my taste. I'd rather have porcelain made of porcelain!

Beautiful as ever George

Take care
