Thread: Some homemade boxes

Top work, and great English too

Excellent works Sumu.

I very much like any works which have some type of segmented construction, and yours are very innovative.

As a matter of interest, how does the root burl of Californian Sequoia (you call it Vavona - never heard of it) and the other exotics (Jatoba etc) make its way to Finland? I guess you must have some good specialty timber importers there?

When you get a chance, a few WIP (work in process) photos of one of your boxes would be very well received by the forum.

By the way, your English is very good - certainly better than my Finnish, but I don't know whether your quotation of ".. a good pig takes anything" has translated too well. In any case, keep up the good work!

Hello ,

Wayne:

I usually keep no camera nearby while working, but I'll try to remember. The main problem could be that I sink in the work perhaps too deep, and a couple of hours passes by just like that. My attention tends to be all there. But I'll try, I promise .

There is some importers in Finland, but I visit only one, namely Viilukeskus Oy, a company in Turku, Finland. Here is their website (in finnish and swedish only): http://www.viilukeskus.fi/ They have very good selection of quality exotics, and expensive, of course.

They are currently affiliated with a DLH-Group, a Danish timber tradehouse importing exotic woods to Europe. http://www.dlh-nordisk.com/

If I sound silly or you do not get what I'm trying to mumble, absolutely ask and/or correct my speech. You can't get wrong there, that's one of the main reasons why I hang around here.

How should it be then?

Kippis,

sumu

Lovely boxes sumu.

Would love to see some of your darkside work too, with some WIP as well. I'm sure you have many skill you could teach us.

Marvelous work Sumu. Very interesting ideas and they glow with precision.

Fantastic pieces Sumu. Something you don't see much of!
