I've spent the last couple weeks coming to terms with the techniqes used to make these boxes. They're really challenging, but not so bad once you get the hang of it. Have to really get the fit just right.
Each of these are about 2.75" x 4" high.

Nice boxes Adam. I've turned a few myself (without the nice form that you've done...). They are fun and not too hard once you get the hang of how to make the top fit.
Your Mahogany one is my favorite.

Very nice Adam. I like them all but the 3rd, with the round top, is my favorite. I haven't tried a box yet but after seeing these I gotta give it a try.

Very nice work Adam! Have to agree with Shane in that they are all nice boxes but really like the 3rd one because of the rounded top. Different with a nice clean line!

VERY VERY VERY Nice! Nice forms, nice finish, just plain nice. I would like to see a picture of the bottom and the insides (just being picky I guess).
Also, watch that business of posting "topless" pictures, if my wifes hears about that...........

Top job Adam.
Does the inside wall follow the outside form or are they just straight walled inside?

Thanks, these were lots of fun. Learned some new skills.
The inside follows the outside, of course.
I did cheat a little. Used a Forstner bit to drill out some of the inside, and to set the depth. Cleaned up the profile with a Hunter Hollowing tool. Set the depth so that after cleaning up the forstner dimple, the botttom thickness was right.
I jam chucked to reverse and do the bottom.
Thanks!
