    Cocobolo box

    This is another small cocobolo box. This one is all cocobolo from the same 4.5" x 4.5" x 3" block. The finial is one of the corners cut off when rounding it. It looks pretty dark in the pics but it actually has some grain showing in it. It's about 4.25" across and 4.75" to the top of the finial. Just waxed and buffed.

    Beautiful work Curt! Nice form - great looking wood! Really like the simple curves of the body and finial as well as the clean line where the lid fits! Very nice - very precise!

    Sweet. Like Steve said Great fit on the lid.

    Do you ever have problems with wood movement when the lid fits that exactly?

    I don't know about small. That seems like a nice size piece of cocobolo.

    You did a wonderful job and I really like the finial!

    I like it. The form and figure. I had assumed you had used some Ebony for the finial. That is pretty cool. The dark look from just a corner piece. I like it. Well done!

    Lovely piece of wood and your expertise in turning it shows it off. The finial fits the shape and also looks very functional. Good work Curt.
