sandalwood burr box

[George Watkins]

hello folks

finally got around to turning the box that I posted about in this thread
http://www.penturners.co.uk/off-topic-forum/9665-old-box-blank.html

it was a bit tricky to make as I had removed too much wood when roughing it out which left me with not many design choices and a problem of proportion. so to help solve one problem I used a piece of ebony to create the male tenon and an accent band.
