Start for the new year
The first job for the new year. Been a while since the lathe got a work out, so the first job was a threaded box. 65mm high and 60mm diameter out of red tulip oak, a fairly firm timber often used for flooring. Finished to 1200# paper and then Ubeaut glow. Gotta make some more acorns soon to.
The finished box

Top of the box, just acquired a new texturing tool too.

I was beginning to think you had given it away ..... an armchair observer.
Nice looking timber and you have done a fine job as well.Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

Thanks everyone, for the nice comments.
Naahh Hughie, just spent three weeks sitting on my bum re-stumping the house. It is 600mm off the ground and has 50 stumps. Not my choice of pre-Christmas job. Swmbo reported the sewing room door jammed shut, and that means big time strife, so an instant response was essential.

Oh nice. Tulip oak? I have a kind of order for a threaded box. Was wondering what other woods are good for threading. That are more available down south?
