~4" diameter ringbox in African Blackwood, with a Cocobolo inset. The cocobolo has a tung oil finish, but the Blackwood itself was just buffed and polished.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
Base is maple, top is mesquite with an ebony knob. This was turned as part of a 4-Ways collaboration with Richard Raffan, Sam Angelo and Tomislav Tomisec.
Finial lidded box - 3-1/4” x 4-3/4” h.
Eucalyptus Burl, Ziricote accents, Ebony finial, gold paint, Waterlox finish.
I’m glad I participated in this swap … forced me to get into the shop again .
