At our last club meeting, I won the "bring back" drawing. Meaning, I got to take home the bring back turning (a nice yellow heart yo-yo) and was obliged to turn something to bring back to the next meeting. I had a small block of curly maple left over from another project, so I thought I'd make a small box -- just large enough to hold someone's wedding rings on a nightstand. The form is something new for me and I'd appreciate honest feedback. I hope whoever wins it likes it. If not, I'll gladly buy it back. (I think I'm willing to go as high as $5.)
The box has a loose fitting lid. By design. Honest! I wanted the user to be able to open the box with one hand, allowing the other hand to remove the ring inside.
I case any of our club members read this and wonder why I'm not at the meeting, I won't be able to attend the meeting (Saturday, the 21st) because a friend of ours died and his funeral conflicts with the meeting. I did deliver the bring back to our club President's son Friday evening. (I'm only mentioning this in case any club members wonder what happened to my bring back. Check with the club President!)
