Charlie,
You turned/hollowed a box with only a skew??
I gotta see those pictures.

They look nice. Just wonder what the insides look like after a skew .

The little "finials" as well as the "boxes" were done with just a
skew (OK so I forstnered a started hole for the hollowing). A
skew with a curved cutting edge sure is a flexible tool.

For scale, the grid on the tablet below is 1/4".

Should've cleanedl the dust off these things before photoing them
but you'll get the idea.

These things aren't difficult to do - one you get the sequence
of which things get turned in what order. Also helps to cut
the "tenons/spigots" small enough to fit in the chuck jaws you
have. DAMHIKT.
