woodworking box ideas
Hooray! We found the cable! I left it on my front porch so no cat tricks today.
Ok here are some photos from todays turning:
Here is the cedar of Lebanon block being turned into a box. Ive smoothed the sides:
Here is the same box being hollowed out:
This wood is really soft and it tears very easily. Here in the photo below is the box after its been sanded:
And here are two of the boxes thus far-the hackberry on the left and the cedar of lebanon on the right:
Normally camphor is a deep gold color but this block has reds and rusts in it too:
Here is the bottom of the box-Ive drilled a hole in the bottom which Ill use as an attachment point for the Nova chuck:
LOL: this is the shavings from the hole in the photo above. Drilling with a Forstner bit always produces wide shavings. The larger the bit, the larger the shavings. Sometimes they look like potato chips or shaved chocolate if Im working on walnut:
Ok, here are the box portion of the gift boxes. They are all sanded and ready for a finish. Im going to use spray lacquer on them:
I took a short break after I finished the boxes and then I came outside and roughed out a bowl for a friend of mine. This is coffee wood. It is a pinkish brown and hard as a rock. It took 2 hours of constant turning to shape this. By the time I finished I was really wiped out:
Here are the boxes with a single coat of lacquer. Ill add more layers tomorrow:
Ok, the next step is to shape the lids. Well get to that tomorrow.Have a good evening,
