The main body of these
small boxes share one thing in common they are made from a single piece of
wood which is divided & then hollowed. This allows nearly perfect
grain alignment between base & lid. Two of the boxes have an inlay in
the lid which is made from 6 pieces of Meranti Plywood & six pieces of
solid stock, it is not just a veneer inlay. The box with the picture frame
in the lid was designed with a special purpose in mind. The first three I
made were given to family members as a container for their newborn's
hospital ID bracelet, with the picture frame being a receptacle for the
first photo. The box in the lower left hand corner measures 2-3/4" in
diam by 1-1/2" high. The box bodies are ash or maple.
A
collection of small bowls/trays
My wife finds the trays particularly useful as a receptacle for rings & earrings.
The laminations on the three items in
the foreground are done after the piece is rough turned. This process is
slightly more difficult but allows for better re-centering on the lathe.
The small tray with the red centre
measures approximately 4-1/4" diam. by 1-1/4" high
A collection of small laminated bowls approx 6" in
diameter. If you want further details e-mail me with the page number &
bowl position in the picture.
My Mushroom Boxes.
These little boxes live up to their name. They look like
a mushroom. Don't take mushroom on your shelf & there is not mushroom
inside. No not typos. Just my weird sense of humour! Made of either Maple, Birch or ash (or a combination )
