Two boxes

[Derek]

Two boxes turned today the spalted one was very punky so a good soak in thinned sander sealer and left to dry before turning did the trick along with some very sharp tools. Many people ask about turning punky wood and this shows it can be done. The second is American Black Walnut the lid it turned of centre and then decorated.
Both of them are finished with sander sealer and woodwax22. The decoration is highlighted with liming wax.

C & C welcome

I'm a great fan of simple shapes and these two really float my boat. Two fine boxes.

Thank you Les. Just playing at the moment which I find is half the fun

Two lovely boxes, sometimes the punky wood is worthwhile !! Simple shapes which show off the timber.

Thank you, John.

I still have the other half of the piece to make into a box I have rough turned it as I did with this one so the sealer has a chance to soak in where it is needed

Great work Derek, I especially like the off center one. It looks like it would fit nicely in a cupped hand for opening by running the thumb up the longer edge.

Thank you Bryan
