#1 | | First piece from Rod's Spalted Maple Name: David City: Pittsboro State: NC County: Chatham Join Date: Oct 2005 Age: 52  10-13-2008, 10:37 AM
This is the first project from the haul of Small Splated Maple pieces I picked up from Member Rod a few weeks ago. I have lots of small blanks left 100+ so if anybody wants to swap a few pieces for something they have or buy a couple for a $1 each, let me know.
Thanks for looking.

I really like how the lines help to "disguise" the box when it's closed.
That's a beautiful piece of work!

Thanks everybody for the kind words. I'm new at this turning lark, but it is very enjoyable. The "Flat world" is still the number one at the moment!

Bob I find myself looking around at just about every box shape imaginable for ideas - I have to think small with these blanks. I really need some ideas for Xmas tree ornaments I think.
