I had two rough turned small bowl blanks. I was not sure what I was going to do with them, but I just didn’t want to do two little bowls. So I got the idea of mounting one on top of the other to see how it turned out. In the end, I think this made a nice little box. Unfortunately, while applying a coat of Crica 1850 Tung N’ Teak Oil, I dropped the lid, and broke the top 1/2” off the finial. But all in all, I am happy with this little lidded vessel / box. The Locust was great to turn. This box is about 5” in diameter and 4” high, plus the finial.

I think you ended up with a great looking “box”. Good save (I hope you were able to repair the finial).

Good Job Brian!! I like your “Box” too. I have some Black Locust that I have turned it is simular in apperance to yours. What did you make your finial out of and how many coats of finish do you have on it?

not sure if this is common knowlege for you guys or how the tung oil will affect it, but do yerself a favor and stick it under a blacklight and throw in some pics of that ;) any locust wood will work well under a blacklight and it should amaze you!
