Project Information

This keepsake box was a commisioned item that I thought turned out kind of neat.
It is Ziricote with Curly Maple for the top, lift and keys. I really liked the "lightning bolt"
spalting design that was in the middle. You can even still see the little worm hole !

Dimensions are: 9×4 x 3 and finished with multiple coats of danish oil and was.

( I almost kept this box for myself! )

Hot Damn! That's a stunner. I haven't worked with Zircote, but it's on my list now (and I'm going to have to get a ATBR blade for my TS - sharp key slots!)

fantastic. the lightning bold looks deliberately placed, but sufficiently random enough to look natural. just fantastic. hard one to let go of I'd reckon.
