finial

Had a bit of fun this morning and made a Yew box it’s 4” x 7” including finial :drool:

Fully hollowed out to 5mm (ish). This Oak blank had been kicking about for ages so I thought I had better use it and make some space. The finial is Maple and the lid is some bit of scrap. I think it's all still moving a little but hopefully will settle down. Dare not take any more of the lid...

Here's a few pics from the finished box, added a Brazilian rosewood finial and applied sanding sealer and melamine finish

Had some time today, i've turned this box in tulipwood and mapple, finial in ebony.

Just finished this piece.

Just the Hip Tiles and Top Finial to do
