My 2008 "Not Just Any Box" Winter Awards #3: More of My "Not just any box"

Looking good and making progress!

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

The grain is looking good, I believe you picked a good piece for this project. Your going to make someone very happy in the near future.

Wow, Dick, I just love this small wooden box!

Very nice looking piece of wood. It looks like it’s coming along swimmingly. I think it looks better without the chin as well.

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

Very cool….

Hmmm . . . really interesting Dick. For some unknown reason it reminds me of Dr. Seuss.

-- The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them

Thanks to all!

I’ve been having fun with this project, & watching it come to life.

I guess I’ll have to put a chain on one of its ankles to keep it from running away. LOL

Good progress Dick.

Thanks for sharing the process with us Dick. That’s my sort of approach – let the design develop as you go along. It’s going to be a beautiful creation and that lovely grain’s going to enhance the design.

I bet the surgery wasn’t painless—did you hold your breath as you made that first cut?

When Zuki said “Dr. Seuss”, I pictured Alice in Wonderland, with the walking objects.
The heart says “beautiful” and “sentimental” :)
