First post..

[Jim Leslie]

I've been lurking for a while and thought that since activity was a bit low it was a good opportunity to post something. This is a jewellery box I made for my wife. Top to bottom - ebony, bird's eye and ash. I was never sure about the bird's eye and the ash combo but my wife loves it.

unusual jewelry box! pretty turning!

[Fred Perreault]

Jim, that is a handsome box. And keep in mind that making the LOML happy is what keeps the shop stocked with tools..:)

Trying to sneak in? :eek:

Can't be done. Welcome to the abyss Jim!!

Nice Box!:)

[John Keeton]

Jim, you have lurked for quite a while!! And, you have been hiding your turning abilities from us - very nice box! The BE maple is very striking, topped by the ebony.

Welcome to the Creek Jim.
Nice work on the jewelry box.

[Tim Rinehart]

Nice looking box, good contrasting wood choices.

Welcome to the forum, and don't hesitate to jump in and ask away...there's lots of us in here who think we know what we're talking about...the trick being filtering out all the input/feedback.

Jim - Welcome to posting on the Creek! First post is the hardest and now that you have that out of the way - we're all looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Nice little jewelry box! Really like the detail work and finish on the finial!

[Aaron Wingert]

Really great lidded box Jim. Don't see very much birdseye maple getting turned which is a shame, because that really works well with the ebony. Welcome to the vortex.

[Paul Douglass]

Welcome to the forum. That is some very nice work. Let's see more.

[David E Keller]

Welcome aboard. You are serious about your lurking, huh? Nearly three years!:eek::D

That's an interesting box... very unique. I love the combo of ebony and BE maple. Let's see some more of your work.

[David Christopher]

Jim, that a very nice jewelry box.....keeping the wife happy is what its all about

[Mark Hubl]

Well welcome to the fray. Nice first post. I think the combo of woods works pretty well. I really like the shape and the bottom to top transition. Nice.
