Turned this one for Mr. Bob Merithew, (were kinda on a first name basis...) my favorite teacher... He's a great guy, young too :p and he has some really cool engineering classes... he also gives me wood :D not that i need it... but ya know... never can refuse some nice maple now can ya?! anywayyyy just as a general thank you/birthday gift for him.

Critique?? I know about that circle on the lid... i think its bruising but i didnt see it until after it was all done and off the lathe and i didnt wanna mess up the shape trying to fix it...

[Tom Kluck]

Ahha! Something I can make for Christmas that I hadn't thought of!

Critique? I might have left the knob off of the top for a clean shape that lets the grain flow around the form. (artsy, but it also makes it hard to get the lid off if the humididity changes...)

[Tom Sherman]

Very nice stamp box Ben, looks like you did a nice job matching the grain up very little lost in parting the lid off.

[David Fried]

I thought the circle of the lid was part of the design! I like it!
The design and choice of wood give it a very clean look, the
small knob finishes it off nicely. Good job - I'll take two!!

[Mark Cothren]

Nice work, Ben! That will make a great gift. Good goin'...

[Mark Pruitt]

Nice job, Ben. These are very handy for folks who use rolls of stamps!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thats a beauty Ben. Will make a wonderful gift.

[Jim Ketron]

Great looking Gift!
Nice Job Ben!

[Brad Kimbrell]

Very nice idea Ben...

But who can afford to "invest" in a whole roll of stamps anymore! :p

Thanks for the post - I'm sure that I will hijack your idea and make a few for some of the folks that I know that don't actually pay their bills online...including SWMBO!

She never has trusted this new-fangled internet thingie....
