Or at least that's what GF is now using them for. A couple of small chunks left over from the box of wood from Bill Grumbine...I think they're cherry burl. About 2" tall for the tallest one, about as close to "mini" as I get.

Cool Lee, how big around are those?

coreyLittle over an inch diameter for the skinny one, just over 2" for the "fat" one...can't be more precise than that, I don't have them here anymore.

Pretty little boxes Lee! Was it tricky trying to turn something that small and delicate?

Was it tricky trying to turn something that small and delicate?Once again, brute force overcomes a complete lack of technique. :p :cool:

Don't forget to get your designer cut, Lee!!!!!

Just kidding!!! Neat idea for some little hollow thing-a-ma-jig-do-hickies.

Oh, wait, that was an atta boy, guess my lack of education is showing.......
