    Default Turned box or what

    I thought that it was about time I turned a box after seeing all the ones Sturdee is turning and making an exceptional job of.

    Hope you like it

    So i found a piece of olive wood and turned this box

    I think it's either a teardrop shape box on a pedestal or a fancy goblet with a witches hat.

    But whatever you call it it's very nice.

    Seven more and you'll have enough pawns for one side of a chess-set... complete with hidden suicide capsules!

    (Very handy, if you play(lose?) chess the same as I inevitably do. )
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Like you I would lose as well I have to make another one as this was only a prototype, the next will be in two different woods

    I did think about making it smaller but that meant making some smaller turning tools,this was made using full sized tools the smallest being 1/2" skew and a 1/4" spindle gouge
