Little walnut box - jerickson - 11-24-2015
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?
Re: Little walnut box - Dara - 11-24-2015
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!
Re: Little walnut box - jerickson - 11-25-2015
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.
