Nice boxes, Les. That certainly is some striking wood.

At first I thought Les had gone to the 'flat side', but the pictures showed he is still making some fine turnings!!!
Cool wood with lots of great discovery when turned....WOW!

Wow Wow Wow Beautiful wood. Nice work. Now THAT is something like I'm interested in learning to do. (if I live long enough) I guess I need a lathe first.  |

Ahh yes - nice boxes, Les!  They're probably my favorite thing to turn. Turning for me is an engineering exercise rather than an artistic creative thing. I just ain't creative enough but I do like to make stuff fit together nice. Boxes are great for that. Have you ever done a threaded lid? I'm tempted to try it myself one day. Looks great!  |

Wow, I could not see the pics before, but man those are great Les. That looks like the perfect use for that awsome Caragana wood.

Thanks Jason I haven't tried thread lids yet. Les |
