Another work from the "silent days"
Never two threeless (I've tried translate a french sentence: Jamais deux sans trois)
I've turned a third lided box in the MantaRay leaning.
Always three wings upside and last down.
Only change is the location of the opening. Completely off side. I don't find very special, my wife yes !
Therefore, I post it...
Made from walnut tree, ebonised with "acetate de fer" (it's just steel wool dipped in vinegar). Don't look very dark to my eyes, I polish with "broux de noix"( walnut shuck harvested last year and botled in spirit ).
Just a little beter...
The wood was inhabited. I clean and paint the holes with gold paint.
The lid is a disc of bone (with the little hole for vascular and nerves, in which passes the red braid, wife made)
And, guess what is the netsuke on this braid ?
Friendly, Lionel
