Basswood carved box

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


This box has been kicking around my workbench for 6 months, unfinished and banished to my “what was I thinking” pile. I actually was pleased early on with my carving but I went down a bad color path with the milk paints and never could get the desire to put a knob/handle on it until today.
I came up with this rather whimsical handle to put the project to rest. It's got some merit to it as a seasonal decoration and I really enjoyed carving in basswood but it's a lesson in what color can do to your work… sometimes it enhances and sometimes it's a dud.
Appreciate all comments,
Tom
