Small maple lidded box
Visitors are gone and I had the shed to myself today. To celebrate I made this small lidded box from some very figured Queensland maple. Maple doesn't take a thread very well so I fitted some Burdekin plum into the lid and bottom for the hand chased threads. The box measures 60mm diameter x 55mm high. Finished to 1200# and Ubeaut Glow. The lid features a mother of pearl insert and some texturing.

I hope my forthcoming journey into Turning Boxes will get me somewhere close to your standard. Thanks for the inspiration.

a darn fine little box
Nice one Jim. The whole box comes together really well with blend of two timbers, mother of pearl and the texturing.

Great little box PP and a neat solution to the threading problem.
