Turning A Round Wooden Box

Today Guil turns a round box. Made of some type of yellow wood, he isn’t talking much because he just had his tonsils removed ….poor guy, he uses his voice to make a living and now he’s out of commission for the next year. I really hope and pray he recovers and gets his voice back!
