Pinwheel Box
Precision isn't all there is to the boxmaker's art but it's one metric. This is an example of a piece where everything came together right (this doesn't always happen!). Hawaiian koa and rosewood in a slightly pyramidal shape with a lid fits shipyard tight both ways. Subtle reddish-brown koa tones balance the intensity of the lid, which is a solid laminate, not veneer. Signed, dated, finished with Ultrasuede. 2-1/4" x 3" x 1-5/8"

For City Lights I4.8Timothy Lydgate is a fantastic wood worker. His efforts to work with me when the post office made a mistake they wouldn't rectify were also greatly appreciated. If you want some wood art you can't go wrong picking Timothy Lydgate.
