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.
Maple burl hollow form with big voids. African blackwood finial.
About 6″ tall, 3-1/4″ diameter.
About 3” tall. Magnetic lid.
Maple burl with some worm holes filled with colored epoxy.
Or maybe it’s a shallow bowl. Either way, it won’t hold soup.
Cherry burl with large bark inclusions wenge pewa) and some bug tracks. Quite a mess. This was the outer core from around the bowl I posted earlier.
About 12″ diameter, 2-1/4″ tall.
About 8″ diameter, 2.75″ high. Round bottom (no foot, just a little dimple so it sits upright).
Simple walnut oil finish.
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.
About 4″ tall, 3″ diameter. The interior is about 2″ diameter.
Lid is parted off in an arc, and the top attached with 2 pairs of small magnets. The magnets are oriented so the lid only goes on the “right” way.
Lacquer finish.
