A Routed Box

Bringing a router to the lathe is a great way to add a unique look to your turning projects.

In woodturning, boxes are really great projects to hone any woodturners skills. Shape and designs are infinite. Loose top lids, pop fitting lids, and even threaded lids can make these pieces tactile, functional, artistic, and really fun projects. Also, large machines are not necessary. A small mini lathe can produce beautiful intricate pieces. For this project I wanted to go a step further by using a router on the surface. I then finished with the addition of colour to add another element of interest to the piece.
