Here is my latest end grain box. This may be my favorite to date. :D The suction fit on this lid is fantastic. :D

The box is 2 1/2" in diameter and 2 5/8" tall. It is made from a very unexpected wood- hickory.

Thanks for looking... :D

Nice peice-o-hickory ya got there, Big Mike!

Another fine turning by such a fine fella! Having one of your boxes, I know just how precise your suction fit lids are - fantastic!

Looks great and when my chuck arrives, I'm-a gonna give one of those boxes a try!

VERY nice, Mike. I like this type of form for boxes, especially with wood that looks so wonderful.

Is your boxes made from dry or green?

Dry wood, Jim. If you use green wood your box will distort and the lid may not come off or only go on in certain orientations. To the best of my knowledge the best results come from dry wood.

Beautiful new box Mike. Got to love those straight lines in that great looking wood. You did it again. ;)
