I was gifted this blank and wasn, t sure what to make from it , so
I cut it in half and made 2 small boxes , both have thread lids , the first
one I returned to the sender , the 2nd one I made last week ...
If you ever want to try hand chased threads try this resin stuff
makes it really easy to chase a thread , nice crisp and clean threads
Any comments and advice welcome

Love it smiife!! I like the contrast and combination plus the fact its possible to use cracked, holey and badly fissured burls for such beautiful products.
Can comment otherwise or provide advice, other than ... make more!!
Well done!!

I luv this sort of stuff. I have a similar colour and burl type bowl in the making. It hopefully will be near as good as this once done.

(I was turning the bowl tonight and it flew off, ripped a glob out of a lamp, something bounced off my face mask and the blank was retrieved front my front yard with fixable damage only)

Nice work smiife. The threads look to have cut very cleanly, what tool did you use to turn them.

brainstrust - always better if your accidents stay on your own property. It's embarrassing having to knock on your neighbours front door (like a naughty kid), and ask "Can I have my blank back please?"

Gday that looks good. The thread appears to be fairly course what tpi is the cutter you are using?
Cheers mick

Agreat looking box . I hav'nt made one quite like that . I might have to try one . I agree , resin is great for thread cutting .

Hi Mick , thanks for your comments mate , always appreciate them ,
I have the Robert Sorby thread cutters 16 tpi , the box is very small
probably why the threads look big but they really are not
