Handcrafted Wood Box

The pattern on the top is called leaping fish. All of the wood is salvage from other people’s cast offs. The rosewood in the main body is from restoration work of a very old chapel, the yew in the bottom is almost impossible to obtain anymore as its bark is protected. It contains a drug known as taxanol used in cancer treatments. The hinge system is spring loaded, if you look closely there are tiny slots where you can push the hinge aside and remove the lid. Crafted by the talented local artisan Christopher Joyce, this piece showcases exceptional craftsmanship. This small box is 7.5" in diameter and 3" tall.
