Turned this BOC box out of cypress then used the rotary attachment on my CNC to do some engraving on it.
Since I am a fan of the Super hero movies and since this will be going to a child that is undergoing some type
of chemo treatment, I decided to use a Super hero theme. The engravings were done with a v bit and then I filled
in the engravings with coffee grounds and sealed with CA glue. I hope it brighten up some child's life as they are
going through a rough period in their life.

Re: Beads of Courage box
Well, it’s just been pointed out to me, and I never noticed it, the “S” is reversed in the Superman logo. Back to the lathe. Hope I can get it to fit the lid again.

Very thoughtful. Not only great carving but meaningful symbolism for an important cause. Well done.

Very nice and a great cause. Even the tiniest bit of comfort that anything offers to cancer treatment patients is a great thing be it young old.
I also blew right over the mirrored S. Just shows how recognizable that S is. The minds eye is a tricky one.
Thanks for sharing and giving to a great cause.

Re: Beads of Courage box
Hi: Okay, I'm missing something here. I noticed that the sides are tapered. How is that done on the rotary axis? Norm

Re: Beads of Courage box
Thanks for all the comments, they are appreciated.
If the reference to the taper, referring to the lid, it wasn't done on the rotary axis. I turned the lid on my regular lathe. The star in the middle
was done with a woodburner. The only thing done on the rotary axis were the logos.

Re: Beads of Courage box
Turned another BOC box and engraved it. This time the "S" in the Superman logo is facing the right direction.
