two recent boxes
Hi, all,
Two new boxes:
1. cherry wood box, 3"x6"x8", finish: oil. marquetry on the top.
2. This box is made from poplar, the box body is an octangonal shaped, then re-shaped as flower paddles. The lid is carved with a whole piece of poplar, with a yellowheart applique and blood stone on the top. finish: three coatings of varnish. decorated with an pyrography.

Nice work, and very attractive. You must have a heated workshop?

Very nice work
I guess the cherry will go quite a bit darker as it is exposed to light?
Poplar is a very nice timber to work, isn't it?

Really nice and creative. That marquetry on the first one, and the novel octagonal shape on the second must have taken a lot of careful work.

Very nice work, I'm pleased to see that popular was used for the second. I am just getting into the box making and just recently cut down 6 large and old populars behind my house. Seems they might have a destiny after all and not just the fireplace.

Beautiful work as usual. Love your marquetry.
When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.
