Persimmon box

[Travis Stinson]

I haven't turned any boxes in a while. I turned a tool handle from some Persimmon I've had under my bench for a couple years and thought it would make a nice box. I got the sequence messed up and lost about 1/4" at the join, so the grain doesn't really match that well.:( 3 1/4" tall by 2" diameter.

Travis, neat shape haven't seen one like that nor have I seen a box made from Persimmon. Very nice.

Even though the grain isn't a perfect match, that is one seriously nice piece of wood with a great shape.

And there's a sequence to follow? That may be one of my problems:D

Nice box, Travis. You're gonna have Big Mike throwin' a fit now, you know? You remember Big Mike - the guy who doesn't do hollow forms? ;)

Nice looking box Travis!

Glad to see a box from you Travis. I can always depend on you for something creative and beautiful. Nice work in a hard wood I am told.:D

[Tom Sherman]

Nice box Travis, I like the wood and the form very much.

Travis, grain match or no, that is an astounding box. The figure of the wood and form of the box lend one to see it almost as a lovely piece of earthenware. Beautiful work.
