Hi,

Sorry for the lack of detail and scale. Both pieces are about 3 1/2" tall. They are finished with a soaking in Watco Danish Oil, and buffed with the Oneway Buffing System.

Both pieces were hollowed with a proforme straight hollower. The little vessel has an undercut top and is about 3/16" thick. The box is a little thicker to account for the fit of the lid.

I'm not really happy with the form on the little vessel, however, the figure in the wood just pops. The lidded box is going to get rechucked as I want to taper the sides a bit and have a smaller bottom. I have about 1/8" to work with to keep the sides thick enough to not crumble. I tried to put a little detail on the top of the lid, but I was trying to do this with it fit on the box with the box chucked. I finally gave up and now have an excuse to get some cole jaws anyway.

Thanks for looking!

Tom
