Lot # 136 - View 2\nDavid Springett - Lidded box turned within a sphere on a stand. Sphere diameter is 2-1/2 inches. Overall height including stand 6-1/2 inches. Turned from a nicely figured but unknown Australian hardwood. David Springett has written several woodturning books including "Adventures in Woodturning", "Woodturning Full Circle" and "Woodturning Wizardry". This lidded box turned within a sphere features in "Woodtuning Wizardry" and is a particularly awkward piece to turn, for the only access available to turn the box inside the spherical shell is through the window openings in the sphere. These need to be constantly moved whilst the inner box is turned.
