Bolt box

I turned this out of boxwood and threaded it on my rose engine lathe. The head unscrews to reveal the box.

I have been machine cutting threads since about 1991 and recently have contemplated starting a thread for people to discuss the methods available other then hand chasing. It would appear that there are at least 2 members that would be interested in this subject so if any others are interested please reply.
 
Outstanding work. Beautifully done.
 
I threaded this on the rose engine lathe that I made. The cutter is high speed, which gives the nice finish. If I can figure out how to post more pictures I will. Thanks for the compliments
