Toroid Box

Gary Ljostad

>This is a expantion of the idea from my last post. I have moved the lip to the inside so the lid can be removed simply by pressing on the outside. Thanks to Matt Heffron for the idea. And thanks to Jeff Lavine for the toroid idea and the comment about rounding the bottom of the inside for easier retrival of contents. The dize is 7"x2.5". The curly maple lid is finished with boiled linseed oil. and the Rosewood base is finished with Mahoneys Walnut oil. All comments and critiques are always welcome.

>Excellent! Perhaps your next project would be this type of a box/bowl but with a lidded bowl in the center with the ring lid and bowl lid matching.

For sure you have yourself a signature piece.

Beautiful piece. I can't help but think of the early Jello molds.

Looks like a nice one for the party

>Gary,

Looks like a good way to transport chips to the party! I'm not so sure about unique, as I have the plastic tupperware version at home... but I'm sure folks would gather around and talk about the container and not the salsa!

>Another idea: an Advent wreath.

You could make the bottom flat and epoxy in four glass or ceramic candle holders.

Potters make and sell a lot of these in fall craft sales.
