I turned the bottom of this box back in 2009, and for some reason never got around to doing the lid. I found it stuck back in one of my cabinets yesterday, so thought I'd finish it up. Don't know where the lint came from in the pic, but I'm too lazy to redo it.

Mahogany is from my dad, at least 70 years old. Love the color.

Still working on my photo skills as well as the turning part.

Thanks for looking.

I like the cove and bead where the lid and box meet. Great attention to detail and execution. Thanks for sharing a well made box.

That is a great box, Rich............really like the cove and the lid........of course mahogany is a pleasure to turn, and this one in my opinion is heirloom quality.............really nice!

Pics could stand a little tweaking, but looks like great work on the box!! And, you are right about the wood - very warm.

That is a hansom box. The proportions, beads, coves, and finish all work together just right.
