Just a little Madrone Burl & Blackwood lidded box I made for a special request at work. 3 1/2" tall x 2 5/8" dia. Wall thickness is 1/8" throughout. The stem gets to 1/16" dia. at one point. Finish is friction polish and briwax.
Thanks guys Rev, madrone can be more red, but as it dries it comes to become a bit more of a rich red/honey color. This piece has been sitting on shelves for about 5 years, so it was very dry when I pulled it out last night. I have one more little block like this that is destined for a similar box.
I've been practicing turning finails lately. I did about 30 of them in the last week. I guess it's time I start attaching them to hollow forms. Thanks for the push.
