Maple Burl Box

Having fun making these boxes. This one is maple burl, about 4.5″ tall, 2.75″ diameter, and the interior is about 2″ diameter.

Lid is sliced off in an arc, and held on with 4 little magnets. The magnet get the grain and figure aligned just right between the body and the lid.

Dragon Box

Box of Spalted Tamarind. The exterior is colored with red dye, while the interior is left natural. About 4.5″ tall, 3″ diameter (interior is 2″ diameter).

The red color and the figure of the spalting makes me think “dragon”.

The lid is sliced off in an arc, and held on with 4 small magnets. The magnets ensure the lid attaches with the grain and figure perfectly aligned.

Lacquer finish.
