    Cherry Box - now with finish

    This three cornered box is all made from cherry. It stands 12 1/2" tall and 3 1/2" wide at the box. I asked for advice on whether to leave it all cherry or ebonize part of it. The general opinion was to leave it as is. Thanks for all the advice. The finish is 5 coats of antique oil.
    Thanks Ron

    And, I believe the consensus was on the money!! Ron, it really turned out looking great, and a couple years from now, it will look even better.

    Excellent Ron! Very delicate in appearance and will age gracefully! Thanks for sharing the finished version!

    Beautiful Ron. That will darken with age and look as graceful as ever.

    Great job and a question?

    Ron, that is some piece of artwork. I can't believe how thin you got the center area. How think is is anyway?
    Alan T. Thank God for every pain free day you live.

    Really beautiful Ron. If you don't mind me asking, how did you make the 3 cornered box?
    It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.

    Very delicate and nice

    Ron, It turned out very nice! It has class and beauty, just another thing to add to the things to turn list.

    Great job,

    Brian, The box is turned from a 3" cube, mounted between centers, on two opposite points of the cube.
    The cube needs to be a perfect square, and centered exactly on the points. Ron
