I finally completed something with Steve Ashes help. He glued up this wood and I got up the nerve to try a box. It is oak, cherry and ash. It is 3.25" by 3.25".

Thanks for lookin,
Pete

Good job, Pete
I'm trying my first box and having a heck of a time getting the lid to fit right:mad: . It started out about 6" tall and is now about 4":rolleyes: .

Where's big Mike when you need him?:D

Dang Pete, that is sweet! You did yourself proud!

Actually the center is ash, then hickory and oak on the outside...I think I forgot to tell you, if that's the one I brought over last weekend or is a piece left over from the goblet?. At any rate that is very nice, and you've just made my wife want one just like it!

Please also relay my complements to Steve Ash on his glue-up.

I mainly used this 1.5"bowl scraper. I don't know if it is the right way but I didn't get any catches.

Outstanding job Pete. I like the combo of wood. Those 1 1/2" hogs will take out the wood won't they? I got mine from PSI which was round nosed and I put a side scrape on it. Nice Job Pete.
