Small Spalted Red Alder Bandsawn Box Small Spalted Red Alder Bandsawn Box No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

This box was made with spalted red alder from a tree which fell on my property. I used a router to hollow the inside. The wood was also filled with worm holes, which I think are great.

This box, though simple, was one of my favorites. If you could hold it you would know why. It just fits so well in the hand, has nice rounded over corners, seems well balanced, the lid closes accurately, and the alder polishes up very smoothly yet you can still feel the voids and worm wholes. It is almost nicer to touch than to look at. But this taught me to be more conscience of how all our senses perceive and enjoy a piece. I will incorporate these elements into future projects.

Really nice, I like the rounded corners a lot. And the wood is to die for. Just make sure and have good dust collection and a mask on while making dust with spalted wood.
