Harvesting Turned Autumn Pumpkin Box

https://www.AsWoodTurns.com

This project is a great multi-axis box in the form of a pumpkin.

The twist is that the lines on the pumpkin continue into the lid, thus integrating the lid and base portions.

This wood is honey locust which has a great color and grain. However, it is so hard and brittle that I would recommend a more friendly wood such as cherry.

The box is spherical and based on the octagon method for turning spheres.

The box is about 4 inches round plus a stem carved from sapele. All finished with shellac.

Enjoy.

p.s. If you would like a more in depth demonstration than my weekly videos, please contact me for an IRD (Zoom Demo) on this or other topics.
