Shame I'm a bloke, otherwise I'd say, 'I wanna be your granddaughter'.  ;D
They are lovely and what a refreshing change from the norm...but then, what else would we expect!

I have to agree with Les. We have come to expect such brilliance now and these do not disappoint.

Tony, Di,

If you'd told me these were Christmas decorations I'd have believed you, but as boxes they are truly stunning.

I love the colours of the 2 coloured ones and the uncoloured one does not sit against them as the spalting gives it the balance it needs to hold it's own.

As ever I have a question, is that a string you are using on the Spalted one?

         Thank you Bryan..... Much Appreciated......... Questions are always welcome.                             
           All three were a bit time consuming especially changing the axis to be able to cut the stripe
           for the Twine to sit in on the spalted and bronze ones.
           The spalted box has also been done to sit at a different angle
