Woodturning: The Engagement Box!

- Watch to the end to see a surprise! This video is dedicated to my fiancée, and yes, she was quite surprised! I hope you all enjoy it!
This ring box is made from Asian Tiger Eye Burl, which is an evergreen species native to Southeast Asia. To my knowledge it is not endangered, but the wood is sometimes harvested for medicinal purposes. I had originally planned to use brass barrel hinges instead of the exposed hinge and latch. It was almost 2AM when I decided to try installing barrel hinges and I completely botched the process. So the bandsaw came to the rescue!
Thank you for watching!

Before you started turning it, into the extra info, to find out the wood. Beautiful.

Thank you, Donald!
David, I have always enjoyed your videos...I tend to watch them the moment I get the notifications...but seriously, this was a great one...until the end, when it became EPIC! Congratulations! I had (have?) tears in my eyes, remembering the time I proposed to my future wife. I hope people watch the entire video and not cut out early...they are in for a wonderful experience!
Thank you so much, Eric! I appreciate that!
Congratulations to you both! 💞 I hope you will grow old together in happiness and love. I’ll pass on the advice my Dad gave my husband and I 41 years ago... “Always put each other first.” My Dad was a smart man. Your beautiful engagement ring box will be a cherished heirloom.
Thank you so much!
Never seen anyone blend turning skills with videography skills better.. Congrats on your engagement David...!
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
Beautiful gift for your fiancee I bet she was over the moon with her ring and the box is just as special.
Congratulations! I pray you have a long and happy life together. A beautiful keepsake for her forever!

Thank you so much Rav! ✌️🥳
Congratulations, David!!!! What a beautiful thing to make, to give, and to keep for generations. I have never seen any ring box as lovely as this one. God bless you and your fiancée always. Also, I really enjoyed the slo-mo footage at the end... 🤩
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
Oh my goodness! Romance is alive and well!! Wishing you many blessings!
Congratulations. Gorgeous work.
Thank you Ross!
Beautiful piece of wood, made even more so by the purpose you gave it. Congratulations to you and the future Mrs. A.
Thank you, Dana!
That is so awesome. The family loves it and the wife said I need to kick it up a notch next time I get her something. Another beautiful piece.
Thank you, Chuck! My best to you and your family!
Congratulations! Great job on getting engaged! The craftsmanship is exquisite as always but it takes a backseat!
I can almost smell the beauty of that tree. Such a thoughtful keepsake. I'm sure that your fiance loved and appreciated very much. Also congratulations to both you and your future wife. GOD bless!
It took me a minute to figure it out without looking at the comments. What a beautiful ring box! Congratulations!
Thank you! ✌️
I really like watching the videos before reading any descriptions, it's so rewarding to watch the beauty unfold....
OMG!!! David, this is now my favorite video of yours! So beautiful, congratulations!!! 💕
Thank you, Lucy! I appreciate you.
That box is shining with love and absolutely beautiful! It will be treasured by your future family for ever and one day, when asked, your grand son will proudly explain that his artist grandpa made it when he proposed and since then it is used for that purpose from one generation to the next. Wishing you both all the happiness in the world. Now just prepare the wooden tableware for your future home lol !
Thank you Viviane! Such a great thought!
Now THAT is how you step it up!
Cheers Lesley!
It’s quite beautiful. With a beautiful surprise inside.💍

Oh Mr. Adamsen! That’s the most beautiful work of art I’ve ever seen….and congratulations Sir!
Congratulations ... Process and Presentation were beautifully done. Wishing you both a happy and healthy life together. All the best from Alaska.
Thank you very much, Jim! Cheers from Maine!
OK. Now that I found that box of tissue and have gotten myself back together a little bit, Wow, just wow! That is an amazing piece. What a thoughtful, elegant way to present the ring. How could anyone say no to that! OK. That's the obvious. But the way you put that video together was just as exquisitely done. I edit music videos for my channel and use a lot of special effects etc. But your skill at presenting something that has to be shot more less in real time is amazing. I'm constantly trying to balance my ADD with my OCD (lol!) so I rarely watch an entire video unless it is special in some way. You had me from the time you pulled out that beautiful piece of wood. But from there all the multiple camera angles, each one right on time and the perfect angle to show the progress from step to step so to speak, that doesn't happen via magic. My friend, you did a great job with the ring box AND the video. Kudos!
Thank you so much. It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it! Cheers!
What a beautiful, thoughtful, one-of-a-kind keepsake! I adore homemade gifts over buying. You made her feel so special! She caught a good one! Congratulations! ❤️
Beautiful David, congrats on the big step too 😁👍🏼👏
Cheers Japie!
Yay! I found myself almost drooling over the gorgeous colour of that burl! Nice fittings! CONGRATULATIONS!
Thank you!
You keep outdoing yourself, David! What an exquisite box... I'll bet it made for an even more memorable proposal. She is so blessed to have you.
Thank you so much, Kat! I'm blessed to have her!
💛
Hi David, Firstly and most importantly CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I hope you both will be very happy for many, many years.
I have never heard of Asian Tiger Burr. It certainly is a beautiful wood and you brought out the best in it.
Take care David.
Cheers, Huw
Thank you so much, Huw! Cheers!

Oh wow such a beautiful box! I also had sharp intakes of breath when cutting into such beauty but obviously worth it to create perfection! Congratulations to you both and all the best in making a host of happy memories in your new adventures together!
Good to see you back again , have been getting withdrawal symptoms! 🍾🥂👍🎉🥰
I was surprised too!! Damn, you nearly got me by cutting it on the bandsaw... Don't do this to an old german.
Congrats on the box and more important on the cause to make it. Wish you all the best from a man who just split up after 20 years. Be wiser!!! ;o)
Thank you Ralph!
