Small ornamental box
A small box 65mm tall with a 65mm finial and 50mm in diameter. A piece of Olive for the body which was mainly sapwood with a very small central core of heartwood with an Ebony finial. The Olive was nice and hard and took the basket weave well using a 16 bump rosette on my ornamental lathe. Finished in satin lacquer for the box and friction polish for the finial.
