The shape of this wooden box was inspired by diatoms, a common class of algae which have a wide variety of interesting shapes. The box is made from South American Mahogany and American Black Walnut. This box measures approximately 5.5” (width) x 2 1/4” (deep) x 2 1/2” (height) It took a few tries to get the cover to fit just right. The finish is hand rubbed poly and wax. Roger -- Roger | |||||||

Good look and an interesting design. Willing to bet yours is the only project in here with that inspiration.

Beautiful box, just right for holding a string of pearls. (I could have sold a lot of these when I worked at the jewelry store.) Thanks for posting.
