Ditto, looks like an "angel" made by a kid in the snow. The bottom of the angel's "skirt" is a weak point of the design, though, relatively long unsupported arcs. Ken's "wheels", on the other hand, give a more mundane geometric pattern but are more structurally solid, more suitable for a "usable" box.

Crown tools is a specially designed set of "hook" tools used to make Chinese balls. "Chinese" balls is a set of turned balls with a series of balls turned within a ball, all out of one piece of wood. The early sets were made from ivory.

Chapter & verse here (in French but you'll get the idea) http://pagesperso-orange.fr/robert.b...hinoisesen.htm
If you've got a few minutes, checkout the rest of the site, when I first saw this guy's work I nearly chucked my tools in the bin and took up flower arranging.

Keith, the skew is used as a scraper. Hans only rounds the inside rings, the outside rings are a lot more difficult.
Be careful if you decide to have a go at rounding rings, not all wood scrapes well.
Tearout can be a problem on 1mm wide ring.
I have several boxes made by Hans and his son Jakob, if you think they look good in a photo, wait until you hold one.Ken Wraight.
