How To Make a UNIQUE Lidded Box - Step-by-Step Woodturning Tutorial With a Twist using the TOOCAA L2

How to Make a UNIQUE Lidded Box – A Woodturning Project with Meaning In this video, I take you through the full step-by-step process of making a one-of-a-kind lidded wooden box — crafted as a wedding gift rich in symbolism and storytelling. Perfect wedding gift idea for woodturners! From choosing meaningful materials to turning, hollowing, fitting, sanding, and finishing, this project combines traditional woodturning techniques with a modern twist. The twist? A beautiful laser-engraved design that ties together two cultures, featuring cuneiform from ancient Mesopotamia and a romantic Norwegian poem. This is more than just a box — it’s a tribute to love, tradition, and craftsmanship. Whether you’re a woodturner, a maker, or someone who appreciates thoughtful handmade gifts, this project has something for you. In this video I use the TOOCAA L2 Laser cutter and engraver.
