Here is yet another turned box in cocobolo. This is my first box in exotic hardwoods but not my last. It was pleasurable to turn and finished like glass.
This box is 2 1/4" in diameter and 3" tall. I sanded it dry to 600 and wet sanded it to 12000 with mineral spirits and then polished it with Renaissance Wax. This baby is smooth, slick, silky... Wall thickness is a hair over 1/8" inch and the top and bottom are 1/4".
Comments appreciated....
I forgot to mention that I got this piece of wood from fellow Creeker Rodger Barrows at East Wake Hardwoods!!! :)
