(a) Glue three pieces of stock together, Plate XXX, each a little over 1/8" in thickness, with the grain of the center piece running at right angles to the other two. When the glue has set, (b) cut out a circle approximately 7 1/4" in diameter, which in turn (c) is glued to a pine core for turning. (d) Lay out for the segments and (e) build up to the top of the box proper. The segments should be about 1/2" wide to start with, to allow for turning.
