Project Information
This is a Purpleheart and Spalted Beech ring box I turned to hold the engagement ring I wanted to give my partner, Sue. She's now my fiancee so that worked out well
The box is cut with a wavy line whilst still square then put back together. Mounted in the lathe, I turned the outside then hollowed each half in turn, having turned down the Spalted Beech insert which I mounted in the Purpleheart, hollowed down to match the inside of the piece then finished.
I think I got the idea for the box from another project on LJs but can't remember who so if anyone knows, let me know and I'll put them in here somehow
Also wanted to post something on Lumberjocks as I've got so many great ideas from the guys on here over the past 18 months or so.
