I have a bunch of walnut cut-offs, as well as some other small pieces, so I decided to make some little boxes. I've gotten pretty fast at them now, and they're a hit with the kids. :-)

Looks really nice and tastefully done too. Great work on how small it is too.

What tool do you use to hollow the inside of the box?

thats pretty cool...I have about 30, 3' pieces of 2x2 walnut cutoffs that I have been wanting to use for something

Love that shape!

Thanks, everyone. I have tried several things for hollowing, but the fastest seems to be a round nosed scraper followed by a few passes with the round finishing cutter from my Sorby Hollowmaster. I mount the cutter on a different tool. I HATE the Hollowmaster.

that is a nice little box.
I also made a different tool holder for my Sorby. now I use it allot. both tips too
