After the immensely positive response from the first watch box video I just had to make another, my plan for this mini-series is to make the box reflect the piece that is inside of it. I just love the loom of my Christopher Ward Moonglow and wanted to replicate the stunning stars but give it a planetary twist.
The main body of the watch box is made from Rippled Ash, with a connecting piece of London Plane.
The three planets on the lid of the box, from largest to smallest are made from, Ziricote, Spalted Box, and Pau Rosa. Each of these woods brings a unique tone and each is rare and special in its own right.
The woods have all been sanded to 10000 grit and finished with Danish Oil, and sanding sealer (on some)
Let me know what you think, this took over 4 months of hard work, planning, turning, and perfecting this new box. Please go and support Christopher Ward as they have supported me, I truly recommend their wonderful watches!

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.

This piece is magnificent and unique I love it well done, this piece is worth 100 out 100. I love all your videos but I think is one of my favourites. Your watch is really smart I like it. Amanda xx
