One of the nicest pieces of Eucalyptus I've seen and a fantastic first box

 

[Grump]

Well you certainly wouldn't know it is a first, bloody lovely that is init?

 

[PhillH]

Well done you ! That's a cracking box in anyones book, never mind a first attempt.

Well matched grain to boot !

Would be handy to see it without its lid on as well.

Now that does look nice, for any attempt never mind a 1st one.

A beautifully turned and finished box. Great grain match too. :bravo:

 

[Baldy]

Looks like a great little box.. saw a couple of these made at thee weekend. . Have to say inspired me.. but will have to watch some more videos before I am brave enough to give it a go

 

[Dalboy]

A very nice box especially as it is a first. I like the gentle curve from the bottom to the top just adds to the piece, good job on the line up as well. look forward to some more

Thats a good looking first effort Alan

 

[Neil]

Looks lovely. A brave choice to make a box from Eucalyptus, it moves very easily and although it might appear bone dry it dries with so much stress that it moves subsequent to turning frequently.

 

[Terry]

Excellent first effort Alan !!!

Excellent first box Allan. My first 3 ended up In d bin..

4th one was left kicking around in d shed, 5th one was scabbed from my little fingers as soon as d lid was out on.
