Summer 2008 Contest

Clearly a classic piece with wonderful European flare. Nice goin' Mark.

Mark, I agree. This is a wonderful piece.

One of the most elegant pieces I've seen (amongst a lot of very really elegant pieces). Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Mark, I like this piece better than the one you had included in the Turned for Use exhibit. The black ash burl adds a lot!

Wow, thank you to everyone for the kind remarks! I'm glad you all like it. This is a shape that I have been doing variations on for a little while. You can see how this piece has progressed from the Turned For Use II piece as Kurt has mentioned above. The catalog for that show is available as a pdf. It is located here:

The box pictured above, as well as another box that I will be posting later in the week, were both made about 3 - 2 weeks prior to the Richmond symposium. They were made specifically for the Boxes S.I.N.
Thanks again!

I really like the shape of this box. You did a great job and the workmanship is excellent.
