Inspired by presentation at the AAW symposium, this project is a turned square box. Actually, it is a cube in 3D.
The cube is walnut 3x3x3, finished with shellac and rattle-can lacquer. The inside of the lid is textured with a Wagner texturing tool. The exterior is textured with a two toothed rotary cutter. The rough surface was then cleaned with an abrasive wheel to soften corners.
The box is indexed with a 1/8" brass pin to keep edges aligned for a consistent view especially since the box is not round.
For texturing and some finishing, I used 30mm and 50mm chuck pins from two weeks ago.
I like it and dream of future variations.
We're preparing for this year's Ornament Challenge - details will be at www.OrnamentChallenge.com
Enjoy.
