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.

About 6″ tall, 3-1/4″ diameter.

About 3” tall. Magnetic lid.
Maple burl with some worm holes filled with colored epoxy.

A few pewa (maple) to stabilize a crack, and some epoxy fill in the cracks just to make the bowl more usable, since the cracks went all the way through.
