Hi Mike;
—-this is a very fine piece of ‘wood art’!

I especially like the curving flair at the base of the legs, very asian in appearance and the top of the box has the look of making one think they are ‘riding a wave’....

Thanks for sharing this and keep on ‘curling those wood chips’!
GODSPEED,
Frank

Very nice Mike. The May issue of Wood magazine had a pagoda style box that you might be interested in.

This has a very pleasing form, Mike. I love small boxes and particularly appreciate the workmanship involved in each of your pieces.

Thanks,

Mike, my first question when I saw this was, how did he do that? The curved work on the legs and top look very difficult. I also like the clear finish, the beauty of the wood really shows through.

I love boxes. Woodworkers that can put so much detail and skill into such a small space amaze me. Nice work, and thank you for showing us.

Beautiful box, I’m with you, Asian art really interests me. I like the curves and delecate strength in their work. jockmike

Maybe not your design but beautiful interpretation. You have a good eye for design and form and went with it. I love this box. That top is so cool and “outside the box.” I added it to my favorites. Thanks for making and posting it.

I tell you what, the way the wood flows in this design, you’d swear it grew straight out of the ground like that. Excellent.

Glad this one came out of the archives. I didn’t see it the first time around. Really nice.

-- Maplewood, MN
