    Pierced Flair

    Here is a small little box that I made for a donation for an Epilepsy Foundation auction. I was limited to 3" or less and immediately thought cricket cage type box. So that's the direction I started and with a little warped creativity.. this is what I came up with!

    The lid doubles as a top and the pattern on the lid includes a spiral from the outside to the finial.

    Osage Orange (hedge for us country folk), 3" tall...exactly, and finished with BLO.

    Thanks for looking and feel free to comment or critique.

    That is a right nice piece of work, Scott. should bring a good amount to the Epilepsy foundation.

    That reminds me of those wicker chairs that were the style in the late 80s!

    Your irregular forms are continuously refreshing, Scott. The contract and texturing on the lid is my favorite part of this piece though! Thanks for sharing.

    Very cool little box Scott! Your creativity is really showing through and I have no doubt this piece will do well!

    Wow, that's very nice! When you do the piercing, do you lay it out in pencil first or just do it as you go?

    Amazing amt. of work in this..I can't say I like the "hoods" - "flairs" you are putting on recent vessels, but the craftsmanship is amazing. If the Epilepsy F. doesn't get great $$$ for this, they don't know what they have. Good Luck

    Scott, your piercing skills are improving dramatically! Great work, much improved demarcation lines for the piercings, and I love the texture on the top. Very smooth lines for this one!

    I have been asked to do a piece for the auction, as well, and need to get started on it!

    Great job Scott. Really nice job on the piercing and burned edges! I believe I would become rather crosseyed just attempting to begin a piece like this!
