is the start for these boxes. Some woodworking magazines in the current issues have articles on these shrink boxes. The boxes look like a fun quick project to make and would make a nice handmade gift. Quick.... well time is needed for the green wood to shrink but not years more like days. Here is an online article on making them

I think almost always these are hand carved BUT rounders and power tool folks could use their tools also. Skinning the cat comes into play here both in fabrication and in finish. Have fun !!!

Pretty cool! I can see how that would be a neat project for the lathe.
