I have been working on new box shapes for my flat grain boxes and documenting the steps in turning them for a little project I am working on.;)
Here is one that turned out okay I thought made from cherry and about 4 1/2" in diameter and 2 3/4" tall.
Polished up like glass, you gotta love the way that fine grained cherry does that. Only problem is one little knot that I uncovered in the lid that mars it a little.

Hey, if we wanted plastic, we would have bought plastic. knots are what sets it off from factory/plastic stuff.
Nice box. almost big enough for my life savings:rolleyes:

Hey, Mike. I like it. I really do, a lot.
And that little knot is just fine. Think of it this way - in a very subtle way, it draws attention to the fact that the rest of the wood is drop dead gorgeous.

Even with the diversity of form, I still recognize this as your work, Mike. That's a good thing and not many turners exhibit the quality. Nice piece! I really like it.

Thank you all for the nice comments, always nice to hear.
George, I doubt seriously that someone hasn't done this shape or something similar before so I sure don't have a copyright on it. Flatter me, turn a million of 'em.

Yup...I'd call that knot a Beauty Mark.:)

Good Morning Big Mike,
Out of all the boxes I've seen of yours....I think this one tops them all IMHO. I really love the shape to the bottome part of the box and the way you did the lid for it really sets it off. Very pretty and a most excellent form. :D :D
