First post - first turning
I've been lurking here quite some time, but I took the box in the linked
pictures off the lathe yesterday and wanted to share it with you. I don't know what the wood is, I picked it out of a friend's wood pile - it was the only piece not too rotten to turn. It has a coat or two of tung oil on it. The lathe is a Smithy Super Shop. It is OK to put _links_ to pictures in this forum, right? http://home.wi.rr.com/trozendaal/Grain.jpg http://home.wi.rr.com/trozendaal/Spalting.jpg http://home.wi.rr.com/trozendaal/top.jpg |

Hi Tony That's a good looking turning, nice shape and proportions, and if that is your first turning I would say YOU SUCK, my first turning I would not even have showed it to myself, anyway like to see some more, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the nice comment.
Dimensions are 4-1/4 inches to the bottom of the lid, and 5-1/2 inches at the widest part of the box. Tony R.

First post - first turning
Maybe it would have more correct to say the first decent turning. I
started taking the outside of this wood off and I saw the spalting and there was no way I was going to ruin it if I could help it. It is mostly God's providence that it turned out this way, as there were a couple incidents with tear-out, and dig-ins and at least once the whole thing went rolling across the floor because the screws holding it to the faceplate were not long enough. That resulted in it being a bit shorter than it could have been. Thanks for the comment, though. Tony R.
