Hey Bill Stevener

[Jim Dunn]

I finished my 2nd box and the wife likes the little knob I put on the top.:eek: How about that:p:p I left part of the bottom tennon on cause it was splitting and I was afraid I'd loose the whole thing. Wife likes that too:confused: Well I figure out how to stabilize wood before tooooooooo long, I hope:D.

[Bill Stevener]

Hi Jim, I like the little knob as well. The entire box looks good.
I think others have suggested applying some liquid CA in the crack, that will work if the wood is dry and then placing a large rubber band around the box when you wish to part it off. I can't see how large, or where the crack is. One can use a hose clamp to complete it for safety measures and move the same during the finishing process. Rather time consuming, it works well and the box should stay in tact.

I was looking at your bowl adventures. :D

see you over there,

Bill.>>>>>>>>>>>>>:)

I am glad she held together for you. Nice looking box, love the shape, the spalting and all. I think the tennon looks fine as well! Did the wife ask for 6 more in graduating sizes just like that, as in canisters? :)

Corey it's not large enough for anything more than spices. Since all the blanks are the same size I pretty well stuck with 3" or so diameter, not much larger. I'll make her some square canisters if she insists.

Just funnin ya. Nothing wrong with flat stuff so long as your not talking about it in the turning forum:p

[Tom Jones III]

Looks great. The wood grain really looks good. I can't wait to try a box.

[Jim Dunn]

Thanks all who looked at my wife's design for a box. She'll take all the credit for it as well, don't I know it.
