Title: Keeping it simple!
Post by: Les Symonds on November 05, 2017, 09:04:55 AM

I'm a great believer in keeping the form and the decoration simple.

This trinket box measures 12cm high x 6.5cm diameter and is cut from a single piece of wenge, with a sycamore accent ring and cabochon. There's a further cabochon of quartz inside the lid, just as a nice surprise to the buyer.

C&C always welcome....Les

Ah, if only simplicity was as easy as it looks!

And I like the way your stretching your use of stone cabochon's into more and more of your work.
