Maple Coin Box

[Dave Hoskins]

I finished this up actually yesterday. Had some things to do and just now getting it online and posted here. I made the hole 1 3/4" not being sure of the diameter of some our coins that are larger than quarters. The diameter and total height are 3 3/4". The vessel height is 2 3/4" with a depth of 2 1/4". Volume measured at 1 cup. Sealed the wood with walnut oil and the finishing was done with shellac with a bit of walnut oil wax mixed in.

Cool, I need a gallon bucket sized one.

That's a clever little idea... I might steal that someday... if I can get enough *& cleared out of the way to get back into my lathe (there were a few.. events.. things happen lets say.. no permanent issues).

Pre-filled, preferably.

That's a great idea, Dave. Like Ryan, I may have to try making one myself one of these days.

Thanks, everybody! All who wish to take the idea, take away! Best compliment one can get!

I will echo Ryan and Vaughn's comments. IF I get around to doing this and post it, feel free to remind me I took your idea!
