Hi Cliff,
I too, like using unusual wood like bits off the neighbours shrub, you never know what it will turn out like.
Great job mate, Thanks for sharing.

-- Bob, Western Australia, The Sun came up this morning, what a great start to the day. Now it's up to me to make it even better. I've cut this piece of wood 4 times and it's still too damn short.

The combination of woods look cool Cliff. Nice job. Like Bob says you never know what you’ll get. I like the tiny grain in the guinea rose wood. I’ve had sticky fingers many time trying to get the felt inside. I’m learning with you.

BobWemm….Thank you Bob. Yes that is part of the fascination of working with wood. Thanks Mate.
Regards…...Cliff.

doubleDD. Thanks Dave. Yes the sticky fingers are a trap. But I think I have it figured out. I draw a circle with a Compass on light cardboard to fit the diameter of where the Felt is going. When it is the right size I stick the felt on the cardboard and trim to the size of the cardboard insert. Now comes the tricky bit….Spraying the back of the Cardboard and then dropping it in place without getting glue on the surface.
All Good Fun….

Regards…...Cliff.

Beautiful turning, and the lid fit is interesting being that it appears to lock in place. Nicely done.

-- Eric, building the dream

Nicely done with a good design. Top makes the box.

-- Ron

Nice shape, nice details. Good on ya,mate!

-- there's someone in my head but it's not me...

The cardboard trick will be on my list to try out next time. Anything to make the final steps easier is appreciated.
Thanks Cliff.

Eric…..Thank you for your compliments Eric. Much appreciated. I still struggle a bit to get total seamless alignment of lid and Box. Sometimes I fluke it, perhaps its to do with accuracy of Tenon?

doubleDD….Dave, yes try the cardboard trick. it really works. But next time I will have at my fingertips a pair of tweezers and a long needle for retrieving if necessary.
Let me know how you go when you next line something with felt.
Regards…...Cliff.

Another good looking lidded box. I haven’t tried anything with a lid to it yet. May have to try one when I get back into the swing of things. Excellent job !!! Mel
