Truly an inspirational piece. The design, the woods, and the infusion of both object was perfect.

Beautifully subtle box based on wonderful inspirations. The softness of the curves and the wood blend so well together. Great piece Cal.

Beautiful!

Great work.

very nicely crafted piece, I like the way the handle fuses with the top & the end wrap around work to the outer edge, has a distinctive northern Pacific look to it. subtle balance & detail.

A very organic feel here, just like what inspired you.

I’d say you hit the nail on the head, but that seems so mundane compared to the elegance you’ve shared with us in this piece.

Every time I see a new piece of yours, it instantly transports me to the Denver Botanic Gardens, where there is a Japanese landscape garden, complete with a tea house where they hold tea ceremonies.

There is certainly nothing wrong with having a “style,” especially when it’s executed at this level!

Beautiful box, love the inspiration.

Very serene. You have done a nice job of making this piece look peaceful…to my eye anyway. I like the muted woods and subtle shaping, it all comes together nicely. Your workmanship is superb.
Thanks for sharing this with us Cal,
