Honeysuckle

Les Elm · May 9, 2009

Turned Lidded Box using 3/4" Spindle Gouge, 1/16" Parting Tool and 1/2" Round Nose Scraper. Measures 4-1/4" Tall x 2-7/8" OD x 2-3/16" ID.
Finished with 6 coats of Minwax Satin WOP.

As always comments and or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks for looking.

Apparently it's not always the selection of tools used but who is using them that counts. A wonderful job, Les, and that's a lovely piece of wood you chose to turn.

Very nice Les! I love the smell of the Honeysuckle flower, does the wood smell nice too?

Les,
Beautiful box.. great work.
That some honeysuckle vine... if it's same as what grows wild around my place, I'll have to stop cutting it back... ours are a vine that doesn't get much larger than you thumb.

Great looking box Les. Nice form and finish.

I.ve never seen honeysuckle that diameter over here, must have another look in the hedgerows.

The box looks very clean and neat. Nice job

I have never seen H/Suckle that big neither, does it turn
easily Les? :huh:

Looks like it would make a nice box for
toothpicks.

Kevin,

Honeysuckle turns very easily.
Like butter they say.
