Wood Turning a Jewelry Box

A few weeks ago, I made a vase with combination of resin colors that I thought looked a bit like the Milky Way Galaxy. A subscriber told me his wife loved it, and wanted to have a special anniversary gift made for her with the same colors. I had a nice cutoff from a maple burl sitting around, so I cast it in some epoxy resin and woodturned this cool little jewelry box.
I haven't done a lidded box project in a long time, but luckily I'm not a full on beginner woodturner anymore, so this one went smoothly!

Black resin makes a stunning contrast with wood. It really highlights the beauty of the grain.

I’m curious, with prep time included, how long do these pieces usually take to complete?

[@CookWoodworks]

This one was significantly shorter because hollowing and sanding take the longest, and there wasn’t much to do on this shape and size. The resin takes about 2 days to cure, the finish also takes two days, so this piece was about a week from start to finish.

@@CookWoodworks Thank you! You do amazing work, thanks for sharing 🙏
