I haven't been turning much lately, with getting the new business up and running, but a lady friend had seen some of my boxes and asked if I would please make her one. I had a piece of mahogany and made this for her today. It's 4 inches in diameter and 5 inches tall. She asked for a mineral oil finish, so that's all it has on it. I moved the Jet Mini outside and spent a few minutes out in the warmth and sunshine today. I was pleased with the lids fit ... you can hear the suction when you put it on and take it off. Thanks for looking.

That is a beauty Ron. I really like working with mahogany. The kids live in Richmond, VA. Next time down will have to give you a jingle.

That would be great Bernie. You'll always be welcome. Maybe I can get you to show me a thing or two.

I doubt it Ron. We could both fumble around though. I think we will be out in June for the Granddaughters graduation. I will give you a call.
