Here is a cedar lidded box I made for Nick Parker who will be ordained a priest in May. It will be his rosary box. I have known him since he was born and have worked with his dad for 25 yrs. They have been family friends for a long time. It is cedar and finished with lacquer. The cross was fun to turn.

What a very special gift and awesome box!! At this stage of my experience I can't fathom how you turned the cross. I love the box itself and the wood really shines. Nice job.
 
That's a great box Bernie, and I'm sure it'll mean even more to Fr. Nick knowing it was made by a long-time family friend. :thumb:
 
Inspired Bernie, simply wonderful.

I'm sure the good father is going to be tickled pink! :thumb:

Still got all your knuckles from turning that cross :eek:

Wonderful work, thank for sharing! :wave:
 
Thanks for all the kind comments. He is a very special person and a wonderful friend so wanted to do something special.

Chris I love turning cedar. They just took a big one down at the golf course and I got most of it. The trunk near the ground is about 18" across and I got most of the trunk which was about 14' long. So should get some good turning out of it.
