Project Information

Hi everyone,

I decided to make another box about 2 weeks ago.
And thought about making something similair as my ''segemented'' box.
I have a crate of leftovers from all the 3d cutting boards and they make great box pieces :)
I named this one ''Inca'' because a few friends of me associated the shapes with the inca's architecture.
Woods are walnut,maple,cherry,oak and some hardwood pieces.
Measurements are;
18.1''x10.6''x4.9''
Tungoil finish.

Some extra pictures;















Thanks for watching!

Well, blow me down! That reminds me of one of those 'relics' that Indiana Jones might find where you have to slide the pieces certain ways to unlock the secret of the box. Very cool!

Thank you for sharing.

That is such a cool original. I don't know how you can invision all those intricate shapes using so many angles. It's genius and very pleasing to the eye.

So. Much. Geometry. Wow, that's a really unique piece. Never seen anything quite like it. The aesthetic direction it reminds me of is the Dwarf architecture in the LOTR films.

Thanks so much everyone for your comments! they mean alot to me :)
Spoon That's a great idea to make some pieces slide away for secret compartments,
Doc u are right, The previous work did really help me to develop, i still don't know wich way to go though.
I would like to keep renewing myself in order to be happy :)
Vicki I didn't really invision this one as a whole, but i add things, remove things sometimes, and move up like that.
The only starting dea i had was to make the lid similair to the segmented box and sunk into the frame.
