    Default Taking the challenge too literally!?!?

    Has to fit in a 50mm cube the man says Hard to get that part out of my head and ended up with the following box - eventually
    Pic 1. At left - A mock-up to see how it might look and work out how I would hold it. Centre - Miscalculated the wall thickness and tried to go to far into the corner with a spindle-gouge - At least one part clipped my nose and I was so sure the jolt had snapped my gouge I wasn't game to open my eyes - but it survived At right - the template I used for the hollowing.
    Pic 2. The adaptors I made to slip over the jaws - did the trick
    Pic 3. The finished box - Scrub Stringybark (rhodamnia rubescens) with 2 coats of DO. (accidentally Note to self - do NOT use oil on shapes that CANNOT be buffed)
    Pic 4&5 The inside

    Default Another ball-in-a-box

    This is a bit of a roughy - actually just the prototype but I won't have time to do a good'un . The box-in-a-ball-in-a-box I did for my first entry led me to thinking about something similar but more aesthetically acceptable. Turning on 6 axis gives a whole lot of room for error and I had my fair share on this one but lessons learnt will help on the next.
    Cocked up the second face and it all went downhill from there - the reason for my thread about templates - need a very precise template to get this one right.
    Turned from waste melaleuca with rot all through it and finished with wipe on poly.

    If there is a separate category for boxes, this is my entry in it: the Rubik's cube box.

    But if there is only one open category, this is my entry.

    Is it a vase? A box with a finial? No, an apothecary jar with mixing bowl and pestel. And it all fits in the 50mm cube.

    Western Myall, Shellawax.

    I apologise to Mark for overlooking this one.

    Not wishing to ruffle feathers or cause nether garments to get tangled by my misunderstanding of the rules, in the true spirit of the Challenge here is a replacement for the entry made before the challenge started, another lidded bowl made earlier (this morning).
    African Blackwood, MC wax finish, measuring 50mm H. x 40mm dia.
