Nice box, Jeff. I haven't turned anything yet from marblewood. How is it to turn?

WOW that is cool, the detail on the finial and the Marblewood looks awesome. What type of finish because it really looks great.

Finish is the mylands 3 step friction polish. Marblewood is great to turn with the exception of it smelling like horse manure!

Jeff, Marblewood can't smell any worse than cypress! A very nice box.

I've never heard of marblewood. Looks very interesting. Well done!

ebudg, you happen to get a stank pieces of cypress. Not all cypress smells like that. Many times we will be milling cypress and come across a stinkin board. Dunno what causes it but it sure does smell like the north end of a south bound moose!

Jeff, the grain match is amazing...to the point that I had to take 3 looks at this to see the join even though I was pretty sure where it would be! The detail on the finial is great. Excellent work.

Nice looking box, I agree on the join. I guess I'm just alittle different, but I kinda like the smell of marblewood.

Ok, I gotta ask. Where is the join line. I can see the pores in the wood but I'm just guessing that the join is in the cove. That's some amazing wood and finish.

Yes its in the cove. If ya look on the right and left side you can see it.
