Now that is very cool! I love turning lidded boxes, although I havnt been turning very long I have done a few and love it, and this is just the coolest thing right here, very unique! As I said I am very new to turning would you mind shareing how you did this? However if you want to keep the process to yourself I fully understand.

George, that's some fine turning. I would be interested in seeing how you're doing it as well. My guess is that it looks more difficult than it is, but I'd still like to see.

Thanks for sharing.

There are very nice, great turning and great blanks!

Beautiful! On top of the quality of art work, that color blue is one of my favorites. The casting is outstanding, also. Were the blanks solid inside or were they cast with a void to save the PR? Which ever, the finished product is outstanding.

Thank you for your kind comments

my box turning method is very similar to Richard Raffan's and various others where the box is chucked 4 times-its a similar process for the mutts- I am doing an article for the U.S woodturning design magazine so The full process will be in there soon hopefully.

Charles: they were cast as solid blocks

Lovely pieces... Both of them. Knowing how good the acrylics are for threading, I'd be tempted to make a screw top on a future version. Great job!

Absolutely beautiful! Form, material and execution: well done George.

I like them. The blanks are also about the right size for making some wild ornamental bird houses.

Nice turning on those boxes also.

Nice work on the boxes. Those acorn husks are nice. I have a bunch I collected last year and this reminds me to go do something with the.
