Wonderful box Ruddy. Great design and craftsmanship. I love it here in Norway, but I would almost move to Australia just for the wood varieties there. I love the way you used that Banksia nut. Very creative. I have one that I got about 16 years ago to turn, but never did. After seeing your box, I may use it differently now.

Amazing! How did you cut the banksia slices to fit so tightly?

Thanks for the positive comments.
Stefan, just make sure you wear a mask when you start making sawdust with the banksia nut. The outside of the nuts have fine spores that can be nasty.
Jim, I do that doubling up fiasco all the time, must be something to do with the date of birth being so far back.
Doe, I made a jig that allowed the discs to locate correctly and then index 120 degrees to make the next cut.

A fine box, well made, Ruddy. The Banksia cone feature is a stunner.

Very awesome. I like the wood combos. That Banksia really goes gr8. I also like the way you sculpted the inside tray, way kool.
