Those of you who know, you understand that I wonder why not make two (or more) while making one. This box is 2.25" X 2.25" and made out of Wenge, Holly and Ebony. I worked on aligning these segments instead of staggering/ brick laying them (which hides alot). It made for a nice box and was immediately grabbed by my wife. 36 segments per ring, .125" thick rings. Again, my inspiration is Gabriel Hoff's great series of "Tower Boxes". This was my favorite out of the four I made! This one has straight sides (allegedly); I think I should change up forms if I go at this again.
Great piece Russ Very impressive that you got everything to line up so nicely. Did you use the Lohman jig as Gene suggests?
