    Default QLD Walnut Box Set

    Been cracking in the workshop again.

    This is a QLD Walnut box set. I got the slab of Walnut from Mal at Boutique Timbers over a year ago. I ripped it up and air dried it for over a year.

    Here is the result.

    QLD Walnut box with African Wenge Handle.

    The pens are burl Brown Mallee Pristina Rollerball and Fountain Pen.

    Sanded to 600grit, 20 thin coats of CA. Micromesh all the way then hit it with Brasso, corn flour paste and Automotive wax.

    This is the first time I am working with QLD Walnut, all I can say is I don't like the doggie poo smell when your working the timber.

    Hope you like it as much as me.

    As always, comment or suggestions are always appreciated.

    Regards

    Excellent job David but I do have a question, how did you manage to get the box cut up with one hand holding your nose?
    Cheers, Ian

    Nice tight joints on the box, and the handle is perfect!
    Did you finish the box with anything? Poly? or whatever? Does it still have an odor?


    The pens....what can ya say, they are definitely up to your typical turning standards-AWESOME!

    Nice work again David, the Pristina looks like a very large pen.
