    This has been an idea that I’ve been thinking about for a year and started working on about 2 months ago. Black walnut and beech. And this is just the test piece. The elements are doweled together.

    African Black wood capsule box with a desert iron wood inset.

    I was gifted a large block of Blackwood from a friend in our woodturning group, he was gifted the block about 40 years ago... his health hasn't been great and he's not turning anymore... I gave him this box in return.
  7. Ring Box

    Ring Box

    Maple burl top and bottom, applewood collar and inside liner, African Blackwood body. I gifted this to a guy that gave me a car load of very expensive woods. then he tells me was given a scholarship from the AAW to turn with someone in Vermont in the mid 80's... what a small world.
  8. Live edge Pear wood

    Live edge Pear wood

    A Live edge lidded vessel made from locally harvested pear wood. Although I do like the design of this box, I feel that with the fragility of the live edge, i don't think it is practical on this container. The finial is ok, I wish i had spent a few more minutes on finishing it...
  9. Teak ring box

    Teak ring box

    Teak box with african blackwood inset. I would have said that Ive never met a type of wood that i don't like but this teak was painful to work with. It would dull my scraper in seconds. I am super happy with the results however, such a wonderful colour.
