Blistered
Maple Box
combined with Ebony, Brass
Finish - Six coats of urethane varnish
11" x 6" x 5-1/2"
An adventure in design, this box incorporates many modern architectural elements combining rare blistered maple, with ebony an brass detail.
The extremely light colored maple is combined with pure black ebony to yield a stunning contrast.
The box body is suspended by wood and brass pilasters on the sides.
The top is hinged with external hand-made brass hinges; interior bottom is lined with woven rose design fabric. Solid wood, not veneer.
Finished with six coats of gleaming urethane varnish for lasting beauty and durability.
The box is made of a single piece of extremely beautiful blistered maple that is so rare that I've never found one like it before.
