Rocket Box π (#16)
The retro style of the red rocket invokes memories of the classic red wagon, the Radio Flyer. My Radio Flyer was not just a wagon, but a race car, a pirate ship, a submarine, or a spacecraft.
This 10″ tall rocket is from Big Leaf Maple burl, dyed with black and red layers. The fins and finials are maple, dyed with India ink.
Number 15 in the Rocket Box series.
Maple burl with 4 layers of dye (black and 2 blues, each sanded back, then yellow). Dyed maple legs and finials. About 10-3/4″ tall.
Bowl from an Elm burl cap, with natural burl surface and three feet from Brazilian ebony.
About 3-3.4″ high, 8″ wide, 9″ long. The bowl is 4-1/4″ diameter and 1-1/2″ deep.
This could be a “charcuterie bowl” (crackers in the bowl, cheeses on the platter)? Or maybe just a display piece.
The last picture hopefully explains the title.
