Popular Post Gerald Posted March 6, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Finished this box today. The bottom was not two piece till I turned the bottom off . So I added a stand. Box is spalted white oak and lid is spalted pecan. The finish is lacquer buffed with Maguires buffing cpd and then polish. hawkeye10, Cal, lew and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadio Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Gerald, That is really pretty wood, and the 2 woods go together very well. You did a nice job on that is the base a 3 type of wood? I like it, the way you made the knob on top it looks like a plug. Good Job!. Herb Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Krumanaker Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Really nice Gerald, that white oak must have been down a long time. "Turned the bottom off"? Never heard of such a thing! Gerald and Cal 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Morris Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Absolutely beautiful, I love that spalted maple. Hey Gerald, purely semantics, but when does a vessel become a box, or a box become a vessel? Box: a container with a flat base and sides, typically square or rectangular and having a lid. "a cereal box" Notice I bolded "typically" because that leaves room for other interpretations. I am not being a smarty here, I truly do want to know if in the turning world, there are flip flops on the terminology, and when to use them, I know larger round containers would be called vessels, or a bowl if there was not a cover or top.

Cal Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Beautiful indeed! And John asks a good question. Is this a box in the turners world, or maybe a box in Mississippi? Gene Howe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Late to the party, as usual. All the great descriptive adjectives have been used, too! I really like the finish and how well the spalted pecan and oak match together. The smooth finish must have required the addition of, at least, a little CA. Super turning, Gerald!

I made a box one time dovetailed all 12 edges. It didn't have a way to get inside so I was told it wasn't a box.

Gerald Posted March 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Thanks for the comments. No CA Lew, just satin finish lacquer and the polish. @John Morris a box is small and can be held in one hand and has a top (my definition) . Boxes can be round , square , or any other shape or combination of within that definition. Sure this could be a lidded bowl but box sounds much cooler.
