Here is a small box I turned last week. It measures 6 inches tall by 2.75 inches in diameter. The woods, top to bottom: spalted Maple finial, Pear at finial base, Walnut, Pear and spalted Maple base. There were worm holes in the Walnut which I filled with faux gold epoxy. Finish is a high gloss lacquer. I don't usually like a high gloss finish on my wood work but it looks nice on this piece of Walnut wood to I went with it. Still, I'm not real pleased with the look. This box was a chance to work on practice with a spindle gouge doing all that fancy beading and coves. Some texturing was done on the base of the lid.
