Spring 09 C&T Lidded Box

2.75" x 6" Walnut Lidded Box with Finial.
Finished with 6 coats of Danish Oil and then Beall Buffed with all 3 wheels.
I used the 24 indexes on my lathe and a drilling jig for the spiral of holes and I used the Sawzall blade parting tool (thanks guys!) to try and maintain the grain match. The finial is three pieces of Walnut epoxied together (with a tiny squeeze-out that I am bummed about). Squeaks pretty good pulling the lid off.
I hope you enjoy Brendan!

This is different. It must have taken ages just to do the indexing and drilling because I noticed how the holes end up opposite each other. I am absolutely thrilled to be getting this. Thank you Jeff.

Unique and elegant at the same time, I really like the top, it set it off along with the spiral hole pattern. Fantastic job Jeff... well done sir! Thumbs Up!

Very creative! I like the detail line at the bottom that mirrors the join line of the lid. Good job!

Nice detailing, really like the shape of the handle with respect to the proportions of the box.
