Flounder Box

As usual your boxes display a combination of both craftmanship and artistry. I really like the way you’ve done the edges of the box. Boxes, like these, should be put in a display case just as one would with any object of art.

I truly enjoy seeing these. It is amazing what you can do with wood.

Thanks for the post.

Wow, I am in love with this box! There are so many cool things about it that I have never really seen done before. This is just so, so cool. It really does look like a fish in the bay. Especially with those free-form sculpted edges. That cupped tray is a great touch too.

It seems like it is a bandsawn box, but you lined it with wood also? Never seen that done before. A nice effect though. Well done and very creative.

A total work of art. I too love to flounder fish in the coastal waters of the Florida Panhandle. The resemblance of the waters bottom is amazing in the lid. Very well done!

The flounder snob can’t have the box because she’s not a gentleman?

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Sweet! Bigger pictures, please! What a fine box.

These pics were sent to me by Allicat…the gal who was the highest bidder on the Lure Box. I know that if i make anything that has to do with a flounder, she will take it. Allicat got the box for her husband. I can’t/don’t how to enlarge the pics without distorting them. I am glad y’all are enjoying this box. Thanks for all the kind remarks.

Great choice of woods that maple is beautiful and the walnut sets off perfect. Excellent job on the flounder too. And a great story to boot :>)
