Jewelry Boxes by Tom Cadwalader
I thought I would post a few pictures of my most recent projects.
Both projects are lidded jewelry boxes. Both boxes are turned have a walnut bottom piece and a maple top. The knobs are both turned from walnut and one has a natural stone cabochons inset in the knob. The stone is a 25 mm ( 1" ) leopard jasper stone from Africa.
Both boxes are about 8 1/2 " in diameter and one is about 3 " tall and the other is more like 4"
The inside of the boxes are lined with a wine colored flocking material.

Summer projects
I havent been posting lately, but I have been turning.
Below are examples of using the coins we picked up in the National Park visitor center gift shops. While on out 7 week Southwest RV trip this spring we bought these coins at various parks we visited. I then found turning projects I could use them in.
The lidded box is about 5" x 2 1/2" and is turned from Mesquite and the inside is flocked.
The bottle stoppers are Mesquite and Cocobolo

A turning by Steve Promo
Steve Promo sent me some pictures from a recent turning he had done. Below are pictures from a platter Steve turned from a spruce burl.
I thought the piece was pretty interesting, The tree trunk ended up being the handles for the platter.
Pretty cool I thought. Must have been a challenge to turn, but being spruce I'll bet the shop smelled pretty good while he was turning the piece !
