Our club meeting is next week so I've been busy turning boxes for our club challenge. I wanted to challenge myself by doing several things I hadn't done before (nested, natural edge, multi-axis, etc)
The first photo is the same nested set I posted here about 10 days ago. I decided I could do one better so I gave it another shot, the results of my second attempt are in the 2nd photo. Both sets are Burmese Rosewood from my local Woodcraft and both sets have small ring bases turned from the same piece of wood.
The 3rd box is a piece of Quina with a Holly spline and a Holly ring base to rest in.
The 4th box is a multi-axis box turned out of Honey Locust. A total of 4 centers were used to turn this box. It has a round top and round bottom and rests in a ring also out of Honey Locust.
The last one is a natural edge box out of Box Elder Burl, again resting on a ring made out of Box Elder Burl. I normally start all of my boxes between centers and use the tailstock for support whenever possible but didn't want to mar the natural edge so I had to figure out another method.
Comments and critiques (good and bad) are welcome.
Thanks
Jason
