Attempting turning boxes at the minute, nothing special to report just yet, thou the one i thought was my best shape ended up in the bin. Completely misjudged the depth so when i came to part it off i had a paper thin base. I am using cut off's mainly mahogany while practising these boxes, good job really ... :rolling:

How is the learning curve going Jim, any updates?

Hi Tony,

Not really done any just yet, but i have been cutting some logs to box size that i had in the garden, the logs were Eucalyptus, Beech, Cedar, and Ash i think? I will post shortly with some pictures ... :thumbs:
