Heres summat i haven't made in a long while.
A couple of weeks ago i was asked if i could engrave initials onto a wooden musical ball made from Beech,i was reluctant to do it as the ball was finished and was to be given as a christening gift,but the couple had tried various people and they also refused to do it so i was talked in to doing it,they would take full responsilbility if i messed it up that was made clear to start with.
After some practices and sending images of what i was trying out they like the pyro'd effect so thats what i did and must admit it did look good.
The ball was in a cardboard box and when they picked the ball up which they were very happy with i was asked if i could make a wooden case to present the ball in and this is the result.
They liked the Ash wood idea,good job as thats all i had cut up to use
The corners are mitred,the top and bottom just glued straight on finished with sanding sealer and carnuba wax polished on the lathe :lol: and lined with a cream satin.
