Pre finished leaf box + inside view

Kenneth,

Thanks for the follow up post. It is nice to see a project from different angles and views. Sometimes 3 pictures just aren’t enough to fully showcase a piece.

wonderful talent to be able to visualize nature in such a way…beautiful.

AW man, I love that box.

well worth looking at – I love the line of the edge. I was expecting straight edges with just the lines of the leaves on the lid area. Very cool

That is some beautiful carving. I really wish I could do that. I love how you carved around a box like that. Excellent job.

Thanks you to all of you for all of your encouragement.

Romansfivefive,
To answer your question I used a knife and gouge to scoop out the wood and depending on how deep or if it was a difficult angle I used a rotary tool. At that time I was using a Dremel but I burned through two of those, I now use a Rotozip. If you have any other question let me know.

Thanks.
Kenneth
