Turning Small, Bark Edge Boxes - From Hazelnut Limbs

https://www.AsWoodTurns.com

I pruned the wood for this project from my backyard several years ago. The limbs were suckers growing from the base. I kept many of them. Some have split others have not. Regardless, the wood is very light in color and beautiful to turn. As a bonus, warm shavings smell fantastic.

As natural edge turning, the outer profile is already complete. All that is left is to hollow, make a joint and clean up the ends.

1. Turn tenons on both ends.
2. Mount to chuck and part off the lid portion.
3. Mount the lid; drill for joint at 1.25"; drill remainder at 1.0"
4. Mount the base; drill at 1.0;
5. Cut tenon for joint. Turn tight or loose according to taste.
6. Mount base and lid together. Cut v-groove at joint.
7. Using small chuck jaws or a jam chuck, turn bottom of base and top of lid.

Enjoy.

As a reminder to wear your faceshield, see the clip at the end.
