Music Box

A music box made for my infinitely better half for Christmas. 15" tall to top of finial. Spalted tamarind and claro walnut. There's a glass insert at the bottom of the interior so the movement is visible. Sorry about the lousy photoshop touch up.

Hey, is there a word limit to descriptions?
That's a beautiful composition, Mark. I think the form is excellent, the woods complementary, and the quality of workmanship .excellent.
 
Mark,
I too like the little ball on top. Also your domed lids are spectacular. Any chance of seeing inside?

Thank you very much everybody for your kind remarks. This was really one of the most challenging pieces I've done. I did it as. A segmented wpiece because the only pieces of spalted tamarind that I could get were 3 x 3 x 12.

Al, I have some more photos and I'll post them tomorrow when I can because I've already posted the limit for today.
