Another lidded box

After a slow start, this is the first job for the year. The blank was glued up late last year but then the silly season reared it's ugly head. I have been playing around with small segmented lidded boxes, each one having smaller segments. This one has eighteen segments to each ring. I have some glued up with twenty four segments. Each one required a new technique and a bit more challenging. I have found that the smaller the segments take longer to dry properly, up to two weeks, depending on the species used. This little box has ebony inserts to take the thread. It measures 40mm diameter and 55mm high. Timbers are jarrah, black bean and silver ash. I find that these small jobs do not need much cleaning up after. :D C and C welcome.
