Good looking boxes. I like how you made the handles.
Personally, I think Pine is a very underrated wood for turning. I understand that it rare to find chunks that are turnable, but the grain and color sure can makes some great looking pieces...like these.
Wow, those are spectacular Curt!

Curt, you turned some beautiful mates for the tall one! Great work on the variety of forms, and I like the variance in the length of the knobs - very well proportioned to the form. Very nice collage pic, too.
Just some excellent work!
I'm liking those, especially the recessed lids.
Those turned out nice. I really like the grain in them....

Where are John Keeton and Steve Schlumpf anyway?
Great to see pine. I have a ton of it I was going to burn but am not having second thoughts.
Love the shapes!

Bueno, Muy Bueno
Mucho gusto! Hard to look at lowly pine with a jaded eye anymore!

The picture of the boxes speaks for itself. Very nice!

The strong grain along with the excellent form makes these a stunning set.
Curt,
I like them all but sometimes la grasa es hermosa.

Nicely done, Curt! Thanks to you and Jim Underwood, I now know how to describe myself in Spanish... Gracias!
Just goofing around with the online English to Spanish translator. I don't know much Spanish but the translator said flacos translates to skinny. So Corto, Gourdos, Flacos is short, fat, skinny, much like me depending on which parts you're looking at.
Thanks for the comments. These are just sanded to 220, the pitch gums the sandpaper instantly so after a few seconds you're just burnishing. The turpentine in the pitch creates a high that's even better than spraying lacquer. After these 'dry out' and loose their tackiness, I'll probably resand them by hand and give them a couple coats of lacquer. For now they just have a sprayed on wiped off shot of deft lacquer to pop the color and get rid of the sticky on the surface.
Faust, sometimes la grasa es hermosa, so is corto and flacos....usually nothing to do with the shape.
Curt - great looking work! Love the grain and the natural coloring of the wood!
I am afraid that my Spanish is limited to dos cerveza por favor, cinco de mayo and se habla Taco Bell.... so it is good to know some additional words! Also, I thought David Keller already went by the name of El Hefe.... which reminds me Juan, do you know what Plethora means???
