Redwood Burl and Cherry Pyramid
Apr 16, 2018
Asked to make a pyramid from wood, Parker added a few surprises. Built using a brick-laying technique, this pyramid box has two secret drawers and a secret compartment. The dovetailed drawers have sides made of cherry. If you turn the top of the pyramid, you’ll find the secret cavity embellished with mother-of-pearl inlay. The V-grooves on the sides are meant to resemble the detailing seen on the ancient pyramids made with large blocks of stone.
