This little box is outside of my comfort zone. Thoughts or critiques? Should I stay in my comfort zone or expand it a bit? Metal effects paint, texturing, different shape, etc.

That looks really great, Cody ... I love it !!!! . What wood/material is it made of ?
Just wondering how you accurately squared it up before turning it ...
... and also how you put the random circles on the square sides.
My question is how do you hollow a square piece of wood. Remember I'm new to turning. LMAO
Thanks Cody! Man I think it would drive me crazy to try to hollow something square. I guess being new, I would have never thought of it. Great work my friend!My question is how do you hollow a square piece of wood. Remember I'm new to turning. LMAO
I used a special square hollowing tool. Seriously, I hollowed it like any other piece. It was hard figuring the wall thickness in the differing planes so I erred on the safe side and left it a little thicker than usual.
Thanks Hank and Terry.
Hank, I do not actively market and sell stuff. I will make things for people who request it and my wife will drag me to one more or two craft shows a year to reduce the volume of stuff we have around. She maintains a "store" in our rec room for her friends and acquaintances. PM me if you have a specific interest in something.
Thanks, Cody.
I never heard of a bubble burr ... will do some research.
By all means continue down this path Cody. In my opinion you have really turned a corner from well done functional pieces, to more truly artistic works. By combining several different mediums, that makes a huge difference. Now I still love attractive wood, and always will. But combined with paint, texturing, embellishments and a different profile - that's a great step up.
Well done.
I'm curious, too. You have taken a giant step and my complements on the whole box! Also, what did you use for finish?That looks really great, Cody ... I love it !!!! . What wood/material is it made of ?
