Olivewood
1.8 x 1.9 x 1.9 inches | 4.6 x 4.8 x 4.8 cm

It is always hard to find a style of turning to showcase a particularly precious piece of wood. For me, lidded boxes are the answer. For this piece, the knots and burl eyes of the olivewood are wrapped up and enclosed in the grain, almost like they are being protected by the swirling figure of the outside world.
Gabriel Hoff, now 21, started turning when he was 16. A member of the Ohio Valley Woodturners Guild, he is active in the woodturning community and enjoys advancing his skills and knowledge at every opportunity. "When it comes to lidded boxes, there are many possible designs, shapes, and styles. It can be as simple as a well-turned cylinder box with simple yet elegant styling, or it can be more complex, with multiaxis elements or piercing, for example. I prefer a simple design with pleasing proportions and styling features that elevate the already stunning wood."
