This box was made from a crotch out of a storm damaged willow tree in my yard. When I started to cut it up I noticed some spalting and decided to explore it and this is the result.  Inside the box are 7 smaller trays that show the spalted pattern.  The top was made from ambrosia maple and the handle from walnut.  The finish is a combination of Danish oil and wipe on poly.  The trays were contured on the sides so each one has a fingerhold and can be picked up in easily without disturbing others in the layer.  I love this box but can’t say I designed it.  I just opened it up so it could be seen.
