Every year, I donate a heart shaped object that benefits a local charity event. This year, I wanted to use most of my tools. The lathe, band saw of course and other tools. Again, I sand this to 4000 grit for that smooth satin feel and finish it with tung oil.
This made of purple heart, bird’s eye maple, cherry and mahagony. Instead of laying this down, I stood this one up. It stands about 12 inches tall. The “chopstick” locks the front on this box. This looks like someone shot a fat arrow through this box and the back of the arrow got stuck in the back. I liked this illusion.
I appreciate all comments.
Thanks, Ellen

The box is really gorgeous. I’m a scroll saw nut and boxes fascinate me as a project. Have yet to produce something that is of this caliber.
Cheers Mike

Ellen,
I you were a composer, you would be right up there with Strauss, and Beethoven. I say we build our own Louvre, right here in the good ‘ol USA, and feature your work in it. You are just awesome!!
