Yep- I think they are Violin. But now they are knobs. now you see why I was asking you about the chuck. I just tap it with my mallet do one and tap it again-works perfect. Cheapest knobs I have bought for boxes.

You are close enough- Violin. They were cheaper then Mandolin.

At a certain point you get to see if your vision works or if it is a clunker. Working from plans-you at least kinda have a picture of what it will look like. With no plans you have to depend on the picture in your mind. Turners must do this with every piece and it must evolve as the wood opens up it's secrets. Then again sometimes all you find is some very work intensive/expensive firewood.
Here is a sneak preview of finished Hard maple framework- Same tree spalted on drawers and big leaf maple insets on top and side doors. With the drawers it is heavier then it appears. Getting very close on all. more finish and details. That is good- time available is spotty. Enjoy!!

Thanks Dave- They are all getting close- the fun part- seeing them finished........
Yep - That's pretty stunning. I love that grain through the drawer fronts. The design on the legs and feet really give it distinction

Beautiful work Mike! Looking forward to seeing the rest of them too. 
I have stated this before but, I am amazed at how well you work the grain and color of different woods. Seems to me so well thought-out and executed, no kindling in there, all well done!

Thanks Groovy and others. Working the pieces of wood and finding what they want to be is what the game is for me. I am always amazed and fascinated with the many faces you can get out of one tree let alone one type of wood.
The mystery box is almost done- only the liners left. The drawer fronts in it are from a lowly wood but are beautiful.
Beautiful work, Mike! A lovely box.
