Cascading Separation Boxes
Here are the two simple boxes that I turned at Saturn a couple of weeks ago. They are made from Kanooka (red) and Ancient Kanooka (black). They are 210mm high.
This is the third box in my separation series. These boxes I have been developing to use in my demonstrations. The two previous boxes I modified to Weed Pots so I can complete them in an hour and a half demo.

We are lucky to have you around - inspirational work. Isn't it wonderful that Kanooka and ancient Kanooka go so well together?!
Are the ends of the cascading rings attached to the bowl/finial ring or is there a gap?Keith

I've finally been able to log in.
The two boxes in question are..... (and I've handled both pieces) almost identical.
As most of us know, WWW turns a little (just a little) above average. But that shouldn't scare any of us off.
So don't be frightened to tell him if you don't like the boxes!
The Box Challenge (I think) was about each of us turning a better box than our last one. I've got a few days left and will try....
I know Ken was a little concerned about the red and black feature. What does everyone else think?
Personally, I like the match. Finials don't always have to be black.

Ken...you certainly have a talent at making duplicates and both boxes are beautiful.
One thing though, to my old eyes, the base could have been a bit larger in diameter.Cheers,

Wow! Looks awesome.
Love the finials - lovely design and lightness (if that makes sense!)
Cheers,

Thanks for your comments. I agree with you black finials would look better. I put the red finials on to see if it would tie the lid to the rings, colour wise.
Of all the peolpe that I have shown these boxes too, most prefer the red finials.
Ed, I am not sure about the base size either. All of the other seperation boxes have a base this size. I will have to make another one with a larger base and black finial.Ken Wraight.

Ken
Not sure if I like them (it's just a personal taste thing) but I certainly appreciate the workmanship, superb. They both flow together well and the contrasting timbers go well together.
Could I ask for another piccy? one from side on so we we can only see the outside of one hemisphere of each ring and not the inside of the otherside (did that make sense?)regards

I usualy take my pictures outside. With the wind lately that hasn't been possible. Jefferson paid me a visit and insisted that I post while he was here, so took a quick picture inside with flash. I will set up a couple of better shots outside.
Do you mean side on, so you can see how the rings sit?Ken Wraight.
