Here is another box from that beautiful curly bubinga my wife and son gifted me for Christmas. This little box is 2 1/4" tall and 2 3/8" in diameter. You gotta love the way the curl spirals around this little box.

Beautiful box Mike.........as always!

I turned a little box Friday night. You know what they say about "it's not over 'til the fat lady sings!" Well I was finishing up the bottom when I had a catch with my spindle gouge.....the box became somewhat shorter. I thought I'd made a nice recovery and was buffing it out. I had a catch on the buffer while buffing the top. I'm not sure how many surfaces it hit or what surfaces it hit after it came out of my hand. No recovery on the damage it got! ARGH!

Yep, that's some pretty wood, and as usual, you did a fine job on it.

Mike, gorgeous wood and exquisite execution, as always! :) However, I'm kind of surprised you've taken time away from doing those hollow forms....errrrrrr....I mean, ort bowls! :eek: (Snicker, snicker,snicker....:D):cool:

That sure is a lovely box, Big Mike. Form and finish have that Bubinga absolutely glowing, and it shows the curl very nicely.

Gads, I wish I had that kind of skill...
