My latest project, which I've had at the back of my mind for some time, is a 'wobbly box'. I wanted to get away from straight-sided, rectangular boxes, and this is a development of my 'bitter and twisted' box.
It's made up from squares laminated together and slightly offset, so the box develops a twist. However, this one will also curve away from the vertical, so the sides of the squares are not the same height, and two of them are tapered.
The top and bottom of the box are smaller than the middle, so the squares increase in size towards the middle, then reduce again. I'll be making the box in two halves, top and bottom, so that it's easier to tidy up the inside. This also means that I can play around with the halves to see which orientation looks best.

This is one orientation,

This is another. In these photos, the squares are not yet glued together.
I still haven't decided which I prefer.

The insides need to be smoothed.

I still haven't decided which orientation to use, and whether to leave the outside stepped, smoothed or textured by carving.
