Mazur Birch box.

This is the box I have been talking a bit about. Gorgeous wood, the particular piece of mazur birch came from Finland. Expensive stuff, the piece to make this box was about $10.

3 1/2" tall x 2 3/4" dia. sanded to 600 and finished with Friction polish. The join is inbetween the bottom and middle beads.

P.S. - it sold within a few hours of me showing it off. Smile

Great job keeping the form flowing from bottom to top, and an awful pretty piece of wood.

You said it was a nice piece of wood. You didn't mislead us. Beautiful. BTW, good to see you back on the board. I was starting to wonder if the siren you've been seeing had turned you into a toad. 8)

That's a good-lookin' box, lad.

You're a lucky lad to live where there's a market. I can't give my boxes away up here.

Thanks Rev and Bud. Rev, I'm starting to feel more like a prince than a toad every day. Wink

Bud, there is a market, but after doing it for so long at the rate I do I also have a client base. It takes time and alot of ground pounding. Doesn't hurt that I also work in Beverly Hills now. Wink
