Jewelry box

**Ad de Crom** · 27th September 2009, 12:16 AM

This jewelry box is for the 14th birhtday of my oldest granddaughter Elise.
She has now reached the age, that she's aware that she's now a pretty looking young lady, and for sure she is.
I made this box of yellow pine, had to glued two pieces together for the box, to get more height. These two pieces are cut of an old yellow pine table top, anyway this wood is completely dry, what important is for such a box with lid. And to be honest, I like it to turn yellow pine, not only for the very nice smell.
The axis dimensions of this box are 200x165mm, and with a total height of 67mm.
Not finished yet with blanc transparent lacquer.
Cheers, Ad

Good looking piece Ad.

Should look really good when the finish is applied.

Won't be back until May, Ad.

Have a cruise to take in January. Leave Buenos Aires, go to Montevideo, the Falklands, through the Straits of Magellan ( with excursions into Patagonia ) and then up to Valparaiso in Chile. Fly to Santiago and then back to Rio.

Wanted to do a trip through the Attacama Desert in Chile but haqve been advised against it because of my heart bypasses. Apparently gets to some pretty high altitudes.

Artur, I knew you have been a long time on the road for making this wonderful trip around the world.
Only I was wondering why you are staying so long in Brasil, now it's fully clear for me.
Making such a cruise is great, I knew you had some problems with your heart, so be careful he, enjoy of this once in a lifetime great trip. I'm full of envy.

Very nice Ad,
Pine is so often overlooked but can be very good at times.

That sure does look nice AD and I think any granddaughter would love it

**Texian** · 28th September 2009, 02:31 PM

Looks great Ad. Hope you will show it with final finish.

Ad,

maybe one day I'll get into turning this oval stuff. You recent stuff appeals to me, expecially for my boxes, not bowls.

I've been "warned off" the Vicmarc Oval Turning Device (it looks OK to me, except for the price), so any advice would be appreciated.

And no, I cannot build whatever jig / device you came up with. Kitchens, tables (not chairs!) and display cabinets yes, but nothing too complicated.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff, sounds to me like a real warning, talking about the Vicmarc Oval device, but there is nothing wrong with the Vicmarc device, I'm agree with you about the price. To expensive for hobby guys like us. But my device is very simple to build, and not complicated at all. If you have the interest I'll send you the design. Let me know.

btw, there is a youtube video showing Alan Lacer working on the Vicmarc device [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5I2Yph57FI"]YouTube - Oval Turning[/ame]
