I like the way you've arranged the grain (I assume it's made from several pieces laminated?)

Nice flowing shape. Did you use the template out of the book?

All of boxes are one piece. Scrap wood from cockatoo timbers.
the lines etc are natural, "spalted sassafrass " this one is part of a length that had twisted like a corkscrew. in drying.unable to laminate as i do not have planer.

PTC, your bandsawn boxes look amazing. Particularly like the ones you do in blackheart sassafras, I might have to line up behind Ruffly to get my hands on one too! :D

By the way, can't see any imperfections from where I am sitting!
