Dorsalcreated for a fan of CustomMade

About this item

Approximately $265

I wanted all aspects of "Dorsal" to follow the same curvature. The body of the box was also constructed the same with a bent/warped look to it. The dorsal fin idea has been bouncing around in my head for a while and I had so much fun with it I know I will be revisiting it again.

The main body of the box is made from quartersawn Shedua. A box joint was use for the construction.

The main portion of the lid is made from Curly Shedua. The handle supports/dowels are quartersawn Shedua turned down on the lathe. The handle is made from two pieces of curly maple with a piece of black veneer in-between. It was made by a series of compound cuts on a bandsaw followed by rough shaping on a belt and oscillating spindle sander. After that it was time for the rasp and then final shaping/sanding.

Finish on "Dorsal" is fours soakings of Danish oil followed by two buffings of BriWax. It is lined in cork.

Dimensions

"Dorsal" is roughly 10" x 4" x 4.75".
