Its a bird.....its a plane... its a Mercedes Benz Gullwing

9 1/4" x 5 1/2'' x 1 3/4" high. The proportions are really key on a piece like this. The top is divided at a point where each door is approx. the golden section

proportions... one running the long direction and the other the short direction. They compliment each other and balance without the large one being to dominant

That is simply gorgeous. Kudos for the work. I assume from the commentary that the design is a Singer original? Also, I assume it's solids, not veneers?

Thank you for sharing. That shape and wood selection is inspiring.

Well, Mark...it looks like you "scale" just fine! Beautiful work...as always.

Mark, I have said this before - contemporary work is just not my thing. But, the works of art you do are breathtaking. They always have such balance and proportion, and the materials are so complimentary.

So, from someone that would normally not even bother to look at a contemporary piece, I ALWAYS look at your posts. And, I am always amazed.

John said exactly what I was thinking. You did it again Mark.

[Dewey Torres]

Mark,
Very nice and design is unmatched!

[Danny Thompson]

Mark,

Thanks for posting another insprirational design! Your work is always original--fresh twists on old forms--and well executed. Beautiful!

[Jason Tuinstra]

Mark, simply fantastic! Perfect choice of wood for this one with the grain that just pleads for you to follow it around the whole piece. The whole piece just cries out to be looked at and examined. And with all the car references, this should be on Top Gear! Just perfect. It's amazing to me that these little projects can be just as rewarding as the big ones. They're certainly as much fun to look at.

[Mark Singer]

Jason,
Thank you! It means a lot knowing the craftsmanship of your work! I just love to look at each detail and the passion you have!

[Leigh Betsch]

WOW!

[Roy Wall]

That's a cool box.............!!!

[Westley Rosenbaum]

Wow that is really nice. I see the Lamborghini look you speak of. That is very sharp

[Glenn Clabo]

Hey...how'd I miss this last piece of Singer art?

As always...that is design and execution perfection.

From the small flying box...to the wonderful house on the hill with the BIG swimming pool.

You are the best my friend!

[Pat Zabrocki]
