Start for the new year

[powderpost]

The first job for the new year. Been a while since the lathe got a work out, so the first job was a threaded box. 65mm high and 60mm diameter out of red tulip oak, a fairly firm timber often used for flooring. Finished to 1200# paper and then Ubeaut glow. Gotta make some more acorns soon to.

Thanks everyone, for the nice comments.

Naahh Hughie, just spent three weeks sitting on my bum re-stumping the house. It is 600mm off the ground and has 50 stumps. Not my choice of pre-Christmas job. Swmbo reported the sewing room door jammed shut, and that means big time strife, so an instant response was essential.

Oh nice. Tulip oak? :hmm: I have a kind of order for a threaded box. Was wondering what other woods are good for threading. That are more available down south? :hmm:
