What will the box be used for?

Good Job. I’ve never used paste wax as a finish—sounds like something new to research.

Very nice project Christina.

Very nice Christina.
Now lets show some of that other nice stuff you have lurking in the background.

Nice job on the box Christina. Looks like you are a Lumberjock too.

Beautiful work Christina. What will you use a box shaped like that for if I may ask? And I have to admit, I am pretty taken by that house in the background. That staircase is something else. Very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing and welcome to Lumberjocks.

Very nice work! If you’re not much of a woodworker, what does that make me??? Well done!

That’s beautiful. Wish I had the patience (and talent) to carve.

Wow, I didn’t expect so many responses.
Well, first answer is that my boxes, and I have carved and built a few, are usually used by Medieval reenactors as part of their “kit”. In other words, they hide their sunscreen, and cameras, and cell phones, and stuff inside them while creating a pictorial setting of a medieval encampment. Others, sold through my gallery, have been used as everything from toilet paper holders to small end tables. They are 16” X 16” x the width of the board (11 1/2”).

The background of the photo is my husband’s and my studio building, and is kind of messy, but very functional. It measure about 12’ X 80’ with a 10’ overyhanging porch running the whole length. We live and work at our gallery in North GA near Amicalola Falls State Park.

Some of my other recent carvings can be seen on my web page at:

and Charlie, I wish I had the patience for the fine furniture buidling that I have seen on this site.

Your website sure looks nice. Your work keeps getting better, & better.

I think you should post all of your stuff on Lumberjocks too.

Great stuff on your site. I really like the driftwood spirt an the box with Thor’s hammer and Odin’s Ravens.

What beautiful stuff, my dad took up craving in his last days, I have a carved ox head he did, it is pretty good since he had only started doing this. I have never done this but sure would enjoy watching you work or anyone that does this kind of thing. You are a real artist also when it comes with coming up with patterns to carve into your projects. I like the bead work too. If I had the chance to try this I probably would, I don’t think we have any club or classes here that deal with wood craving.
