Inspired by Ray Key’s most popular box style, the beauty of the Capsule Box lies in it’s simplicity and the way it feels in the hand.
The piece shown in this Inspiration Series video was made from Walnut and finished with beeswax.

Bees wax instead of Carnuba? Interesting.
Either wax will create a great finish. We chose beeswax in this case because of how easy it is to apply – especially to the inside of the box. Carnauba wax is a harder wax and best used with a buffing wheel system, making it difficult to apply.
Very good video, thank you.
Great video. What was the yellow finish you used, beeswax?
Yes, it was finished with beeswax.
Excellent demo, on video of capsule box turning.
