Shapes & Shadows, a bandsawn box

[Sculptured Box]

Hi

Recently received a bundle of Tassie Black Heart Sassafras, in one or two lengths the featured colour is almost black, working with the remainder of this timber is going to present a challenge as the colour is so intense. So here is my first effort from this bundle,

Tony that is one classy piece!!!

that's the trouble with intense sassy, it can be difficult to cope with the intensity.

Leaving gaps between the drawers as you have done gives the right amount of
relief for the eyes.

An outstanding band saw box! The wood looks great, design is terrific and execution is perfect! Great job.

I like the the way you have made this one.

Agreed, a nice job done on this one.

Thank you for your kind words.

Thinking about another from the same timber, with a totally different design feature, not sure what will evolve? The challenge is to work with this dark grain but make light the dominant feature????

Thank you for the compliment.

Half way into the next box, not sure whether it will win recognition- already it is called "Light & Dark" as the design attempts to emphasis these aspects.
