box 004

This box turned out to be a lot bigger and more detailed than first intended. What was going to be a simple black and tan, no frills box just kept getting more and more detailed as I worked on it. The original idea was just too plain. This is a good example of designing without a plan. It's like designing on a computer screen-too easily distracted and takes too much time searching around. But I'm pretty happy with the end result. Of course there's always mishaps and the only major one with this project was the breaking of one of the ebony pieces, which I used for the back. The break seam is totally visible. The next one is definitely going to be a lot simpler.
