Using a chunk of spalted maple that I've had sitting around for years and a little scrap of walnut, I made this small stash box. I started the project with no particular plan other than to make a lidded box. All of the design elements were made up on the fly, as was the process I used to execute each part, which is why you might notice some places where I stop and think about what I'm doing. As far as tools, I used all the usual suspects - a couple bowl gouges, a skew, and a round nose scraper. Sanding sealer helped quite a bit since this piece was relatively punky (it's silver maple). I sanded to 320 grit and finished it with danish oil.

Many of the turnings from my videos are available in my Etsy shop, along with a lot of other unique and interesting pieces that didn't get recorded. So, please take a look... it's a great place to find wedding, housewarming, anniversary, or birthday gifts that will really stand out from the rest! And since every art show I planned to attend this year has been cancelled, there is a good amount of inventory available. Link is below...

Thanks for watching! Let me know if you'd like to see a certain type of project in a future video!
