Having completed 50 boxes following Chris Stott's designs, it was time to put that practice to the test and produce a box from scratch.
Further the design was constrained by the size of the piece of flowering gum which my neighbour had given me with the request "Can you make something from this for my wife". Another couple of inches longer would have enabled a more traditional natural edged effect although the ends were pretty rough. The bowl is more 'brandy balloon' shape than a true sphere.
Size: 140l x 110w x 180h
Wood: Box - flowering gum; Finial & Pedestal - river red gum stained black
Finish: sanded 150 - 800 grit with 3 coats of Automotive clearcoat acrylic lacquer
I will allow the lacquer another month to fully harden before wet sanding and final polish.
Your comments and suggests would be appreciated.
