About

Build your skills and see how turning lidded wooden boxes is an enjoyable, creative pastime. This box can be used to hold small items like candy, rings, or trinkets. It can be given as a gift or simply featured in your decor.

Create and finish this classic box using not only familiar tools such as a roughing gouge, spindle gouge, and parting tool, but also a negative rake scraper plus a skew, which will improve the quality of the surface and provide crisp transitions. You'll learn the sequence of steps that must be followed to successfully complete a box with a precision fit to the top, and how to create and use a jam chuck for finishing the bottom.
