I found a video on You Tube (by Bob Ham) showing how to turn a winged box from a piece of flat board. Very nicely made video!!
A friend gave me an 89mm diameter Cedar (Juniper) limb that contained a "Y"-crotch, so I cut out the Y, and bored a hole 54mm x 12.7mm for a chuck to expand into. It all turned out well, and as a finish, after sanding to 600, I buff-polished it with white diamond, and buff-waxed it with a bit of carnauba. Be careful of the spinning prop!!!
The lid is spalted Beech, with a Lemon knob.
Cheers, and thanks for looking, the pics are down at the bottom,
