Lidded Box

[Bernie Weishapl]

Here is a lidded box I did using a idea I got from Ray Key. Box is really rather easy to make. It is spalted maple. Finished with Minwax Antique Oil and Lacquer. Buffed. It is 2 3/4" across and 4" tall with the finial. The LOML wants me to make another except turn a indentment in the top and put a walnut piece in to make it look like a apple. I told her I would try.

That's a great looking box, I like the form!

Nice one Bernie! Let us see the apple if you do it. I've read an article on line (somewhere) about turning fruit. He was making them solid, but I had wondered about turning one into a box.

[Gary Herrmann]

That turned out very nice. I like the shape a lot.

[Keith Burns]

Great box Bernie !! I am anxious to see your apple box so get-ur-done !!

[Dennis Peacock]

Excellent box there Bernie!!!! I like everything about it. :D

[Steve Schlumpf]

Beautiful work Bernie! Nice proportions, grain and finish! Like some of the others - I would also like to see the Apple box when you get it completed!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate it. This was a fun box to turn and am pleased as it goes pop when the lid comes off. As soon as I get time I will probably make the apple box.

Nice box Bernie! Now you need to get one of those "fancy" chucks so you can make a curved stem for that puppie!

Great Work Bernie! Ray Key makes it easy doesn't he? Super job on this one, I look forward to seeing more.:)

[Paul Heely]

Nice job Bernie. Can't wait to see the apple when you finish it.

Bernie, that's a neat looking box. I have yet to try one of those. Someday.....:rolleyes:

BTW I like your LOYL's idea of a different species for a stem, to simulate an apple. It would be great if you could get your hands on some bloodwood for the main body and ebony for the stem.:) (Do I know how to spend your money? Of course!!!):p

[Barry Stratton]

That looks GREAT - way to go Bernie!

I am looking for some red wood of some kind by the way Mark and either a dyed or ebony stem. Holy cow that is dangerous when two great minds think alike.:eek: ;) :rolleyes: The LOML just walked away shaking her and said sheeesh. :p I told her it could happen!!!!!!!!!:cool: :rolleyes:


Thanks again for the comments.
