Here is my latest turning. Thought it might make a nice gift. It is a maple box about four inches tall and 2 inch diameter with a picture frame insert in the top. The picture came with the frame. Nobody I know. Lousy photography as usual. Need a new camera. The bowl is from a piece of Alaskan birch. Everything finished with danish oil and buffed.

I like your box and I especially like the picture ring inset in the top. I think that I might use that idea in a piece I am going to make, if that is alright with you if I steal your idea>

Very nice pieces Rich. Great form and finish on both.:) :)

Those are really nice Rich. I love the bowl and like the idea of the picture on the box.

Great job.

Nice job on both pieces, Rich and, as the others have indicated, cool idea for the picture frame inset!:) Beautiful Maple, BTW!:) :cool:

Hi Rich,

I like both pieces, very nice.

Looks like the dime thing is hear to stay, must have become a status symbol. :D

Thanks fellas. I appreciate the replies. Ron, feel free to use it if you want. Those frames are pretty cheap. $1.80 each and cheaper if you buy more. I think I got them at woodcraft. Look under clock inserts and fitups in the project supply section. They have two sizes.

I got two pretty big hunks of that Alaskan birch. I like working with it. Has some real pretty marbling inside, turns nice. Seems like real hard wood but cuts nice. Had some nice shavings flying off it. I still have enough for a deep bowl and a shallow bowl, plus what I hope will be a nice vase like thing.

Lol Bill, I had the dime there for the itty bitty contest and it stayed for these shots too.
