Walnut Box

Here's a walnut box with some texturing, woodburning and a pendant insert on top. The woodburned trees on the box's side were meant to go with the tree insert on top. 5" dia. X 2-1/2" tall. This was turned face-grain and luckily it's been very stable so far (a month). Finished with Tung Oil and Ren wax. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome, Don L.

hehehe.... I was thinking 30/70, originally I was thinking 40/60, but figured you would be turning so much you would barely be able to spend the 30%.... Smile

LMAO

You do great work!!!!
