Italian Restaurant

Great, but where are the olives and tomatoes?

I really like this one. Something about the busy pattern playing with the natural wood on the bottom…......

I can’t believe this is only 2 inches square!

Impressive as always – I have GOT to try your method and do one of these…....

Ahem, its just under four inches square (by just over two inches high), Bob. I think you need a new calculator.

Really nice design Martyn!

Martyn, this is beautiful as always! I have to ask,...Have you ever accidently destroyed a piece during the process after obviously spending hours on such a piece? I have done it with a few of my projects and when I look at such an intense piece, I can’t help but wonder.

Martyn, Your work continues to be an inspiration.

Thanks a lot

Yes Coz. I polish my boxes with a 6” cloth mop mounted in a power drill, clamped in the bench vise. One day I was polishing away on a box that had taken me some time to make. I accidentally caught the top corner. The mop whipped it out of my hands and threw it under the bench, where I subsequently found it in three pieces with one very crunched corner. The air turned blue. I called on every obscene invective I could think of, in several languages. I am much more careful now but dread the day when I loose concentration again. If only for the sake of Sue and the neighbours.

I’ve been fortunate to travel to Italy 3 times. I have never met an Italian restaraunt, ristorante, pastacerria, tavola calda, pizzeria or trattoria I didn’t like. Thanks for the gastronomic road trip down memory lane.

Oh, by the way, real cool box!

Another fantastic box, Martyn! I had a similar idea a couple of years back, but you really took it to the next level.
