Storms on Jupiter

That is a beautiful job. You did a great job on the wood selection and the sculpting. Also love the way the hinges set in it.

Making this one was more like a dust storm on Jupiter…lol , that lid came out great nice work on all aspects…BC

That is an eye catcher!

Good job on sculpting that beautiful cherry. The box body looks like it was made from crown molding? I have done that and liked the look.

Big Ogre, I like this top even better. Symmetry is over-rated. The grain in this top is a feast for the eyes. The free shape here is much more fun, and there is even more contrast between the bottom formality and the lid’s freedom. If we are what we eat, and we build what we are…I don’t know what is going on here. (Just kidding.) Thanks for taking us along on your creative adventures in wood. Keep boxing and keep posting.

The sculpting looks nice. How did you do such a large molding profile on the ambrosia maple? Shaper maybe? I’d like to try making a large fancy profile like that on my boxes.

very nice looking box!

Stunning! Are you going to tell us how you shaped the bottom? Love this unique design, is it your own or from a pattern?

Great looking piece. Love the ‘irregular’ form, nice job

I get most of my lumber from Wibles, a local lumber company in n.e. indiana. The bottom of the box is some of their crown molding, made from some thinner boards that couldn’t be bookmatched.

Awesome box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................Jim
