    Default Segmented beech bonbonniere

    <TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD colSpan=2></TD></TR><TR><TD colSpan=2>Made this segmented beech bonbonniere for Lucie, the best girlfriend of my daughter Karin, and also one of our best friends for a very long time. Lucie bought recently a house in town, and wanted to surprise her with one of my turnings, in the form of this segmented bonbonniere, with the meaning to use it for wrapped chocolate stuff, or something else.
    DxH dimensions 280x128mm, including the knob.
    The knob is made out of panga panga, an East African hard wood.
    Finished with two layers blanc transparent acrylic on waterbase.
    Thanks for looking.
    Cheers, Ad

    Allen, bonbonniere is what people in France are saying for this kind of lidded bowls for chocolate sweeties, the france language is a romantic language, it sounds better than the Dutch name ''chocolade schaaltje''
    Thanks, Ad
