'Sputnik' Box

This box reminds me of the nose cone of older space rockets, that on re-entry into the earth's atmosphere, detached itself and fell into the sea, where it was retrieved, and the astronauts climbed out through the hatch at the top. The name of the Russian satellite,Sputnik, was more fun, so that was what it was named. November 2002

'Intrigue' Box

The coarse texture on the sides of this box are a sharp contrast to the glassy sides of the lid and the ball on the top, and the warm red Tulipwood feet. Intrigue is currently on display at the The American Association of Woodturners' second exhibition at Landmark Center in downtown St. Paul with the exhibit titled, “A Nation of Enchanted Form: Woodturning Artists across North America.” The exhibition will then be moving to the Messler Gallery in the Centre for Furniture Craftsmanship Woodworking School April 22 - June 16th, 2005.
