Wow! This is so unique…I dont know what to say…but WOW!
What a concept. I agree that the side might be a trifle high, but lets not quibble. This is stunning.
I hope you explore this idea further, its great. The colors/contrasts work perfectly and the finish is spot on. Well done!

I really like this Paul, leaving the raw material and contrasting it with what you’ve made out of it. Fantastic. It’s a unique concept, and you’ve done a great job with it! Very nice.

That is a really cool box Paul! That is such a beautiful red and I love the natural look of the moss. You have an eye my friend. Great job!

That is just too cool !!!

How well does the lichen / moss etc last under the finish?
How do you do all the planing & sanding without destroying the lichen?

I am usually impressed with what I find inside an old log or plank – I never thought to keep the exterior to show the radical difference.

I like the keys!
Nice box!

Very unique and lovely at the same time.

-- Donnie-- listen to the wood.

That is very creative. It has alot of artistic qualities to it. I’ve found redwood to be a nice wood to work with.

Crazy about the box – not so much the sides.

-- A thing of beauty is a joy forever...

Seriously artistic and creative! I think that it’s very well executed, and I actually really like the sides. Makes it more interesting, and keeping with the fence roots :)

Well done!

Very interesting box. Very daring combination between the old growth wood (live edge ) and the finished wood. I would have left those “risers” off the already finished sides. It looks added on. I am not being critical of, but for it.
The top looks great on it. Keep the original projects coming.

Your work really excites me. Each piece is a work of art and a unique solution. I love to see aged wood used to create such beautiful objects with such design flare.
