This spherical box is made from curly silver maple (Acer saccharinum). The walls on this box are extremely thin averaging about 4mm in thickness, producing a box that is deceptively light. In addition to curl in the wood, this box features a bark inclusion that makes it a one of a kind. The seam between the base and the top is decorated by three burnt grooves that contrast nicely with the white of the maple. A walnut pedestal keep the box and place and proves a nice contrast to the maple without competing for your attention. A real conversion piece. Regrettably, this box was damaged in the final buffing process and will not be for sale.
