Ornamental boxwood box as a gift

Continuing the description:

This box is 60mm tall and 45mm in diameter. The basket weave pattern was made on my Rose Engine lathe using a 16 bump rosette. The top lid of the box was decorated using a flower rosette and the inside of the lid was decorated using a 4 bump large amplitude rosette to create a 4 petal design. The base of the box has a simple phased zigzag pattern using an 18 bump phased rosette. The box lid has a red Cubic Zirconia stone on the top and on the inside. The box is finished with multiple coats of gloss lacquer.

What a neat method on making the box. You sure have the process down! Great work!

Way to give it away Colin! That's almost as great as this beautiful box and way more personally rewarding!!

Very interesting. Beautiful result and a fascinating process but seems more a technique for the computer savvy than a Neanderthal like me who just wants to poke at wood with a sharp metal stick.

Is a rose engine lathe sort of a evolutionary step between a lathe and a CNC machine?
