Big Leaf Maple, Sycamore

Measures about 10.5"x6"

The Big Leaf Maple was a Vancouver city tree milled by a friend of the IP school. I got a small off-cut from a classmate's project and took it home with me where I made this little box. This maple was a joy to plane, too bad I didn't have more to do so :)

This project is a more simplistic one but maintains the level of work and care as any other.


Design or Plan used: My own design - Nicholas Nelson
