Great looking box Tom. I liked the design on these. It has a real handmade look about it. The handle really adds to the design feature.

Lookee What I Got!

The letter carrier brought a package today and this was in it:

A big THANK YOU to Mr. Jim Bradley for his gift and for contributing to the Family box swap!

Jim included with the box a letter explaining the process he used, which was quite entertaining itself! The bottom of the box is mahogany; the top is beech; finish is SealCoat shellac. Overall dimensions are 5" diameter and 3" high.

Jim, you did good and we will enjoy your creation!!!

Tom Baugues · Jun 10, 2013

Oh, very nice Jim. Well done! Great looking turned box. Wood choices look great together.

Vaughn McMillan · Jun 10, 2013

Very nicely done, Jim. :thumb:

I can imagine that letter was a hoot.

Brent Dowell · Jun 10, 2013

Well done Mr. Bradley! That's a nice little box!

Well, Vaughn, the first paragraph is as follows:
"You are participating in a major event in history. This is the first box, of any kind, that I have ever made."

Let's just say the rest of his letter talked about a "learning experience".
