A friend of mine is now into turning wood and asked if I could make a cab for a lid. Here is the final results.     We plan to make more. Thanks for looking! John |

Great idea and nice work on the lid! What did you use for the rock lid frame/hinge?

John, Thanks for the website on the lid/hinge blanks! Very reasonable prices too. Hope they're in business, because I am about to order a few blanks.

Very nice John. I've made lots of boxes over the years but never used one of those lids, I wasn't into rocks the last time I made a box. I'll give that a try once I get my lathe set up again. Any idea what the wood is? I can tell its an exotic but beyond that its tough to tell from the pic. My guess is its a rosewood or maybe a mahogany. Either way its cool.

Very cool, I like the compact idea!!! I wonder if they have egg shaped ones, since my circles always turn out egg shaped!!!!

Oooh, very cool! I like it that you can see the other side of the cab when the lid is open.

That box is just beautiful and what a wonderful and unique gift to give someone, man or woman. You could even make the money clip and put it in the box to make the gift extra special.
