SimpleTurned Box made elegant

Post by TomWS »

I finally made my first foray into 3D Carving by making this Corian top for a simple turned box.

The top uses the Magnolia Flower from the ClipArt library with the beaded perimeter and dish effect made using a moulding toolpath. The moulding toolpath and rouging clearance was cut with an 1/8" ball nose bit while the 3D Flower was cut with a 0.5mm radius tapered ball nose using a 0.0032 inch stepover.
I used a two sided technique to align the routed inside of the top. For the outline profile and the inside pocket I used an 1/8" O-Flute bit.

The routing went extremely well with the only cleanup work required was on the edge of the top where I had four holding tabs. This I turned on the wood lathe with a negative rake, 2R, Easy Wood tool.

The wood is Butternut hacked out of a scrap I had 'saved' from a firewood pile.

Beautiful work on the lid. The turned box looks great also.

That is a really nice looking piece of work, Tom. The Corian goes well with that wood.
