box

Small tangential box much in the style of previously posted "Neapolitan Swirl". Walnut, cherry and maple with "darker" cherry for top and bottom. Top is snap fit. Finished with Ack's paste and beeswax. 4.5" diameter, 3" to top of knob.

Top is walnut. Finished with Minwax Antique Oil.

Carved with a v-shaped chisel head, then dyed thoroughly with black spirit stain. I didn't know when I finished the inside that I would be coliring the outside, so I waxed the inside, which left a bit of an inconsistent finish.

This little capsule box is made from the chunk of Madrone burl I had left from the burl bowl I posted earlier. The photo has a little light square where I can't seem to figure out how to make the gloss not reflect the light so dramatically. Anyway, the size is 2.25 inches tall and 2 inches in...

Cherry. Turned, carved, burn textured, with acrylics. 3 3/4” high x 4 1/2” diameter. Inspiration came from a mix of flora and fauna motifs without trying to make the piece be anything specific.

This box is figured maple with an amboyna burl inlay. It is approx. 3 inches tall and 2 inches in diameter. I had this little piece of the burl on the shelf and decided it would look best as an inlay on a box. It turned out really nice!
