My first box made on the lathe

Well that is a neat little box! First time really looks good.
About what size is it? a hardwood dowel…Neat!

Thank you! :)

It was a 2” dowel to start with. After turning, the end diameter is 1-3/4” and about 2” tall. My wife is using it to hold her stitch markers (for her knitting).

Looks good, especially for a first try. Didn’t know HD has 2” dowels, but then maybe not in Canada.

Nice looking box.

Nice job on the box. That sure looks bigger than a two inch dowel.

Pretty darn good job…... now the wife will want about 20 more I bet…..

Yup, I’ve already been getting requests for more boxes to hold various things. :)

J, that looks really good. I not yet attempted a box, perhaps I need to. Like the idea as the dowel as a practice piece.
