Turner’s cube

The turner’s cube is a traditional project for an apprentice or student learning lathe work who would be given one and told to reproduce it.  I made this one on a CNC mill.  Getting the diameters and depths correct for an aesthetically pleasing cube is more difficult than it would seem so I after an initial attempt doing it off the cuff on a 1″ cube I did some computer drawing before starting this 1-1/2″ cube.

Thanks to Bob Warfield for inspiration:
