Still new to turning but just learned to turn a box from YouTube. I’ve now turned four or five and really enjoy it. Surprisingly, when I only had a mini lathe, all I wanted to turn were large bowls/platters. Now I have a Laguna 2436 and I’ve gotten more into spindle turning and smaller items. Still planning on the big stuff, just need more practice and better general technique.
Here are a couple from a cedar branch that came down last year. Wish it would stay this color forever! C&C welcome and appreciated as always.
Both boxes are about 3” tall and 1.5 - 2.5” wide. (The second box is an anniversary gift for my wife so I tried to burn a message on the inside lid but it turned out a bit sloppy. I guess I need more practice, though it didn’t help writing in Russian!!!)
