I mentioned a couple of days ago that I have a demo to do on lidded boxes in July.........brought home some wood from our club to assist me. This is my first practice run.....although not from wood brought home from the club.
This walnut blank was actually given to me last year by fellow creeker Mike Cruz. Mike and Tony DeMasi dropped by for a test run of the monster hollowing rig..........Mike loaded me up with some of his painted walnut blanks and a few others I will get to when I can get some time to turn ...........thank you Mike!!!!
This lidded box is 4-5/8 wide and 4.25 tall....this is the first box I have turned using the expansion mode of the chuck, and I still have sanding and a final finish on the bottom.......the finish is still a little wet in the pics and has to be buffed as well.......you can see it cracked down the side...stress in the wood, I suppose, but I repaired it and it is good to go. Comments always welcome....
