    Default Eliza's orange box in morton bay fig

    hmmm, onions, oranges, I must be hungry.

    the skin is a bit thick - that's because it's a navel orange.

    That's why it doesn't have any seeds!

    Beats me why I'm getting a run of icky coloured wood. I'm using the rest of this bit for jam chucks!!!

    (and the inside of the orange for orange juice)

    Gees Eliza first you got the hair stick bug, then the top bug, then the pen bug, now it's boxes boxes boxes everywhere.

    Like where you are going and developing.

    I like it! Nice bit of timber, too.

    Hmmm... you wanted an Apple with that?

    Is that apple a box?

    I considered making an apple box - but thought it too much like the orange.

    So now I'm thinking a banana box! Just trying to work out how to reverse chuck it.

    No, not a box. That's one of my earliest turnings, from before I worked out how to do things like hollowing.

    Good luck with the banana!
