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>

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.
