Couple of boxes
« on: November 27, 2012, 09:53:24 PM »
 As the title says,







Made from off cuts of Walnut, inspired by Richard Raffan as I`m reading his Turning Boxes book at the moment & they gave me chance to try out the Simon Hope hollowing tools I got at Harrogate.

Well impressed with both the book & the tools.

Cheers.

Nice work,

Very good finish (lovely colour in that walnut) and a good grain match as well between the top and bottom.

Well done.
