Cocobolo Box

Small lidded box made out of Cocobolo wood. Super hardwood with a beautiful finish. Be careful if you have never worked with this type of wood before. Some are allergic to the wood and it can cause a rash.
Cocobolo wood is extremely dense and does not take finish very well. A simple wax finish is great and will keep a shine on the piece for a long time.

Sandstone Hot Plate

Sandstone hotplate I purchased in Bryce Canyon Utah. I have turned a myrtle wood base for the hotplate to add to highlight the beauty in the sandstone and provide some protection from chipping.

Bud Vase

This wood turning project takes about 20 min. This is from a reclaimed wood. I am not certain about the species of the wood. Very hard wood with a beautiful grain that finished up nicely. This is great fast gift idea for dried or fresh flowers when you have a glass vial to insert. These can be found most local craft stores.
