Osage Orange lidded box

[Curt Fuller]

This is from a small Osage Orange log. It's 12" tall to the top of the finial, 5.5" wide at the widest part of the log. The finial is poplar dyed black. If the finial looks like I 'tried' to copy one of Keith Burns, it's because I did.

It looks like a Sombrero hat:cool:

Very pretty. Reminds me of an old time ice cream dish. Is the lid just a taper fit or is there a "ledge" that we can't see?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Curt - really nice work! Great job on the finial also! Real pretty lidded box! I really like the flow to the piece! Pretty cool!

[alex carey]

very cool, I too would like to know about the lid.

[Dave Halter]

Very nice. Does the bottom section still contain the pith or did you cut a "plug" and insert it for the stand? I'm just wondering about cracking.

[Curt Fuller]

Thanks you guys.

Yes, the lid is just a taper fit.

And no, I didn't remove the pith. But it's from a pretty dry log so I don't think it will crack. But I've been wrong before.

Beautiful piece Curt. Really interesting form.

[Jarrod McGehee]
