Brazil nut box set

[Jim King]

These are Brazil nuts , hard as stone, they look a bit like marble when turned. This is a 3 peice box set . The wood is black Ipe. Size 19 inches tall by 3.75 in dia at largest point.

That is a beauty Jim. Do you make the boxes as you stack them so the bottom will fit like a lid? Nice job.

[Jim King]

Bernie: As each is a little different in size I make the bottom one and then make the stabilizing insert for top of the bottom box which also serves as the bottom for the second one etc.. The bottoms are all compression fit but for security about 1/8 inch of resin is poured in binding the sides to the bottom and also makeing them leak proof thus suitable for drink glasses.

WOW!! Jim, your peices are beautiful. I have yet to see one I don't like. Maybe it's cause your always using all that wood that we don't get up here. ;) :)

I thought that a brazil nut was the little brownish black ones that look like a ape toe ?

Bill: Take a look in the corner of the photo. That is a brazil nut, They are about the size of grapefruits and the sections you are thinling about at christmas that grow like orange slices grow inside this shell. Never build your house under this tree.

Man! Jim...If I could be you for a day...My life would be complete.;) That is just too cool. I also was thrown by the little Brazil nuts that I'm used to seeing. Wonderful work all around. :)

Hi Jim,
That is a very well turned, finished, and nicely designed three part lidded box.
I like Brazil nuts, and know they come with hard shells, but I had no idea that they also come in multi-nut pods.
