Well done. Love all the knots in the wood. Loads of interest.

Beautiful Wes.
I love the burnt rings to camouflage the join of the lid.
Great video and as always a full watch from me.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw

Thanks Huw! I got the idea from another turner I watch (I don't remember who, as I watch so many). The premise was: you will rarely, if ever, have the joint stay seamless, ...so you will always feel it, ...so make something on purpose to feel.

@@PiedraDesigns I've seen quite a few people use this technique but never tried it as only ever made 2 boxes and they are both sold. Cheers, Wes. Huw

[@PiedraDesigns]

You should have a go at another one!

@@PiedraDesigns I will Wes, I do like making them and don't know why I haven't made more.
