Making a surprise box for my wife. This one is a pretty good size one. I can’t remember the wood type. It is going to be a whiskey barrel. I used silver/grey miliput for the steel bands. I will use a thin plywood for the top with a cork for the handle.

Ash Lidded Bowl with Walnut Finial and Abalone Bead Decoration inside lid. 5 1/2" w x 3" h with 2" finial. This bowl was a real design change. The original piece had a couple of wormholes show up at the last minute and I had to cut the whole middle section out so made it lidded...
This is a beautiful and unusually colored piece of black locust with sapwood. The yellow sapwood is not stained! The lid and foot are made of cherry that was tinted for more contrast.
Pair of lidded boxes from Walnut, Bubinga, and Curly Maple. Approximately 4 1/2" tall x 2 3/4" dia. I am a newbie turner (and photographer). Please let me know what you think.
I believe I thought too much about trying to get a nice lid fit, and shape the inside and not enough on...
Think I'll trick anybody?
I've read the posts about the toothpick holder article in Wood Magazine. Unfortunately when I went to the bookstore I couldn't find the magazine, so I had to wing it. It was fun to figure it out on my own...I like a challenge.
The plug/stem/lid is all one piece.

Turned from Sapele (from Wizzy). The "lid" is walnut, and the finial & "collar" are Maple.
Measures 5"x2.75". Finish is 3 parts each DNA, BLO, & Shellac (recipe from E. Bud).

Base: 1 3/4" dia.
Overall Height: 10 3/8"...
Lidded Box
2-5/16" x 2-3/4"
Ornamental Plum box with Spalted Dogwood and Crape Myrtle Inlay.
Gel Poly
The inlay was inspired by a Dick Sing Demo, and the spalted dogwood was provided free by a vendor at a local symposium. (Thanks Mike!)
I cut down the diseased Ornamental Plum...
