Canary Wood Box Pt 1 (with floating lid...hopefully !!!)
Am starting the box with 5/4 kiln dried Canary Wood...good lookin' stuff laminated 2 pieces of canary with a slice of cocobolo in between.
Knocked off the corners of the blank at the tablesaw...wind up with an octogon (easier to rough out)
Attached waste rounds to each end with hi-strenght epoxy since the attachment is on end grain.
Rounded the block using a 1/2" spindle guage...the canary cuts nicely.
The next 2 pics show how I'm starting to develop the shape.
Note: the partial parting cut...not ready to cut fully thru yet.
Note: as your cutting the round over on the right, start with the tool flat, bevel rubbing....as you progress to the right, start rotating the gouge over so that it is completley vertical once it reaches the waste block....always keep that bevel rubbing, or your likely to wind up with a neat spiral pattern dug into the lid.
Pt 2 coming soonLast edited by Ed Reiss; 29th July 2009 at 11:51 AM. Reason: spelling

Canary Wood Box Pt 2 (with floating lid...hopefully !!!)
Now ready to part off. Using a thin kerf parting tool, cut into the blank leaving about 20mm in the center. Finish the cut with the POWER OFF using a back saw.
Mark an initial wall thickness of about 5 to 6mm, this will be thinned out later.
Using a drill chuck in the tailstock, set up the largest forstner bit that you have, I used a 2 1/8” (56mm), and place a bit of tape around the shank to mark the depth. Set the lathe speed to the LOWEST speed possible. Drilling into end grain with a large bit into dense wood is slow going – take your time and expect to back out the bit very often to clear shavings. OK, now that the hole has been drilled, set up to shape the rest of the opening with, say an Oland type tool. I use my Elbo tool for smaller stuff…ideal for this size box.
My next step is going to be at the drill press…why?
It will be revealed in Pt. 3Cheers,
Ed
