First Attempt at a box lid
Gidday Guys and girls, This is my first attempt at doing a fancy box with my new lathe. The box leaves a lot to desire but I learnt a lot. The end grain kept breaking way. And then went I parted off the base. It went through the bottom is now a hole. The finish I used was shellawax but I then scraped out the cracks with pop rivet.
I did have fun if nothing else. What your thoughts?
