A box in Masur Birch...

Mike,
That wood is just unbelievable. Where did you get the stock from?

I too, like the form, the pointed lid goes well with the striking figure that wood presents.

Nice work, you should enter it in art competitions.

Thank you James, in another post in this thread I listed some sources for some of the exotic and wonderful woods I have been fortunate enough to score.

Try these: http://anexotichardwood.com/ and
http://www.gilmerwood.com/Default.htm

Gilmer's has incredible wood at incredible prices but you get to see what you are buying before you purchase it. Not for the faint of heart or thin of wallet. It takes a lot of nerve to put tool to wood at these prices.8-O

This is great Mike. Gilmer has the best selection I have ever seen for the turning crowd.

The prices I saw were not that bad. I have seen much higher for lesser sizes so I will definitely be sending them some dough when I have the spare for it.

Thanks again,
