Now that I know it has safely arrived I will post a picture of a box I turned from some red keyaki that Stu Ablett sent me. It is a fabulous wood to turn as it cuts, sands and finishes beautifully.

Stu gave the box to his wife and says she is thrilled with it. Makes me very happy to hear such reports.

The box finished up at approximately 2" tall and 3" in diameter as I recall. I guess I failed to measure it when I finished as I don't have a record of its size. Maybe Stu can provide that for me.

That's a classic Stafford box, Mike. :clap: Beautiful work. :thumb:

Yeah, but if Stu measures it, you're gonna have to convert from Japanese inches to US inches. What a pain. :rolleyes: :D
 
Thank you again Mike, it is a wonderful piece, and Emiko just loves it! I'll see if I can get it away from her long enough to measure it, and I'll use centimeters, like the rest of the world does :D
