This box is a fun idea on how to dress up the tops of lidded boxes. I got the idea from a fellow OVWG member. There are many choices/combos one can do! I chose to go with Figured Maple for the box, African Blackwood for the rings and Tulipwood for the discs. There is also a small defining black...
Yet another box, this time made from a stunning piece of spalted teak burl. This style is more of a dome shaped box. Size approx. 2" tall and 2" in diameter. Finished with gloss lacquer.
My first segmented piece… I used maple with walnut veneer to give a “grout” line look. Top and bottom rings are from walnut to contrast and tie together. Lid is curly maple with walnut knob, reflecting the box shape.
A box made from Willow, with quilted ash lid. Knob is also Willow for symmetry. Two bottom lines are burned in with guitar string, and the line on the rim of the lid is burned in with a piece of Cocobolo wood.
Poplar lidded hollow form; hard maple finial lid ebonized with black transtint black dye; 10.5” total height, 6” diameter; finished with Watco Danish Oil, Natural color; (Cindy Drozda inspired finial)
Pinocchio ran off to a new home in Texas. However I’m guessing many of you didn’t know Pinocchio had a sister. Yes and she has the same bad habit. Here her hackenberry body with a bloodwood accent has an 18” cherry nose. But she wasn’t alway like this as seen in the following picture.
