#boxturning

Small box in sapele. On a cord, with a bead. A simple form, based on Japanese inro boxes. #woodturning #boxturning #smallshop #lathe #印籠 #205collaborative #dgso #greensboronc (at 205 Collaborative) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzRmADPArMJ/?igshid=aeifll7688m7

Cut through the lid because I didn’t measure. Finished the idea anyway because it’s a skill builder. Acrylic box with hand chased threaded lid. US penny for scale. This isn’t sanded and won’t be finished. Just a reminder that we all bugger things up. I should have measured and didn’t. Spent a week as assistant to @kirkdeheer while at @johnccampbellfolkschool last week. Kirk’s class reminded me that I know how to chase threads and turning small projects is just as important as turning large projects. 3/32” thick, blank from @beyondwoodproducts. Maybe I’ll have time to try this again tomorrow. #acrylic #lathe #box #boxturning #boxmaker #boxmaking #woodturner #woodturning #stl #shoptime #practice #stlouis (at The Walnut Log Studio And Supply)

Only had enough turning time to set myself up to turn an inlay box tomorrow. Working with the T40 from @harveywoodworking, this time because it's so darn fast and quiet! Also using the amazing parting tool from @blackline_tool_company_america. Diamond covered carbide, no relief cut needed. Maximize the wood available and minimize the kerf. This should be a much nicer grain match when finished because of that. #wood #woodturning #woodturner #lathe #box #boxmaker #boxturning #inlay #motherofpearl #tools #handtools #stl #stlouis (at The Walnut Log Studio And Supply)

Turned box with Mother of Pearl inlay. Mystery burl, possibly sourced by @todd_turns. Project turned on the @harveywoodworking T40 lathe. Fun little project. It's too humid and I'm too tired for much else. Kind of a blah day honestly. #wood #woodturner #woodturning #lathe #box #boxmaker #boxturning #inlay #motherofpearl #burl #tired #humid #stl #stlouis (at The Walnut Log Studio And Supply)

2.5 inches over the rest with a "mini" tool and no chatter. Love these diamond carbides from @blackline_tool_company_america. Minimal sanding at depth. #wood #woodturner #woodturning #lathe #box #boxmaker #boxmakimg #boxturning #handtool #tool #diamond #carbide #mini #stl #stlouis (at The Walnut Log Studio And Supply)

Setting up another box for inlay. Good shavings! #wood #woodturner @woodturning #lathe #box #boxmaker #boxturner #boxturning #shavings #woodshop #heroshot #stl #stlouis (at The Walnut Log Studio And Supply)

Sycamore box with Walnut and stabilized Burl inlay. 2" tall. Easy way to make a plain piece of wood into a stunner. #wood #woodturner #woodturning #lathe #box #boxmaker #boxturning #inlay #burl #walnut #glueup #sto #stlouis (at The Walnut Log Studio And Supply)
