Spin Top Box

Black Cherry, Bocote, US penny, acrylic gouache, India ink. 4" h x 2.5" d. I donated this box to the Ohio Valley Woodturners Guild for their biennial symposium, and am honored that it was purchased by one of their younger members (also a rising star in the turning world, and frequent contributor to this forum). The lid of this box is a spin top, and the spin bearing is a coin that I hammered into shape with a doming block. I carved the interior for some added interest.

The dark, linear detailing is growing on me…..maybe a touch distracting to my eye. Now when I see it on the interior, boom!! Your creativity continues to be off the charts Brother! Super effort!!

This beauty rightfully generated a pretty penny at the OVWG auction. Great form, embellishment, and coloring. What more could you want?
