Small turned boxes

 Hi Everyone,

 Like most wood turners I have a lot of small scrap pieces of wood and one of the uses for these are wooden boxes.

There are zillions of photos on line of small turned boxes and I've made a few over the years but I seem to have both a lot of blocks and a number of birthdays coming up. The boxes are great for gifts, storing small things like rings, or just a place to keep your fav earrings and never lose them again.

Here's a small box that I was working on yesterday. The lid and the box are both hickory and come from the hickory platter I made last year. The finial on top is ebony:



This needs to be sanded and a finish applied and I bet it will look great.

This would be a great project for any dried tree branches too.

 Anyway, back to work.
