These 2 lidded boxes are made from scraps from building the Onrust. Last weekend (9/12-13/2009) was the NY 400 Hrbor Days in NYC. We spent both days sailing the Onrust around NY harbor with many Dutch ships to celebrate the Quadricentennial of Henry Hudson’s arrival in the New World in 1609. These boxes are made from White Oak (Quercus alba) with Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) insets in the lids. They are about 2.5” in diameter and height. They are finished with danish oil and buffed. They were made as gifts for the Dutch Royal Family, who were in NY for the festivties, as thank yous for their support of the Onrust Project. I hope they actually get them. I did not deliver them myself ;-))
