Circles and Squares Keepsake Box

Playing with pattern, grain and texture, this keepsake box in American white oak is a development from my earlier console table. The grain of each element has been set in opposition to the next with white finishing oil highlighting the directional change. The end grain buttons were finished clear as contrast elements. This box was created as part of my opening exhibition as a new member of the Makers guild in Wales.
