This is from sycamore “scrap” that I had re-sawn and put aside due to the disfigurement of the wood and then I got to thinkin’ ... this would make a great potpourrie box!

It measures 9×4 x 2 and top is 11’’. Finished the outside only with Howards Feed-n-Wax. I have some lavender plants/shrubs here that I am gonna cut and fill the box with and give to some friends.

It turned out a lot better than I had imagined. Thanks for the comments and looks.

Great work Jay, you continue to create inspiration from the woods with your rustic style. Keep it going! I am awaiting a hook knife to be delivered to get some spoon carving in soon….all the best my friend!

The “disfigurement of the wood” is my favorite type of wood. It looks like some very cool quartersawn grain on the bottom inside the box. Sycamore is one of my favorite woods to work with. Good job.
