I designed this panel style box to express some of the Art Deco style.I wanted to make a box that was formal in design then shape it free form, a contradiction.

Re: Spiral End Mallet

I love the pattern. I also want to whack something with this. I dont own a lathe, but I think it would be very easy to get addicted to it though. This is a great piece and will hold its own in the contest, dont worry :-)

I love this, so natural. I wish I had thought of this, wow!
Good choice of colors and the shaping is perfect.
You make me want to get back to the box I am working on, thanks.

Re: "Dunes"

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Jurgen, I use a 4'' angle grinder, a Makita with a sanding disk or a flap sander, then a randon orbit 4'' sander to smooth everything out.Sometimes a Dremel as needed and chisels a little.

Re: Arts and Crafts Coffee Table - Two Flavours

I really like this style of table and its great to see it in two woods.I dont know which I prefer.I am more of a QSWO guy,but the Cherry is stunning too.Great work!

Re: "Deco"

Senomozi,Thanks for the kind words!
This box has a Wenge body and Maple medallion inset into the lid,with Bloodwood accents.I prefer to use Deft spray lacquer for boxes,satin sheen,many coats as needed,sanded between each.(I dont use a spray booth,in fact I use the aerosol cans and set them within 5 ft of sawdust on my bench.Dust is not attracted to it like poly or oils.)

If you would like more info on how I build some of my boxes,then follow this link to LumberJocks and read my tutorial.Its very thorough and has many detailed photos.
