A Quartersawn White Oak Sushi Box
When building this piece inspired by Gary Rogowski’s sushi box in FWW #139, John decided to experiment with some techniques he had never tried before. For the lid, he carved a mountain scene out of a block of white oak; and he ebonized the box sides with vinegar and steel wool and did not fill the pores, so you can still see some of the quartered white oak grain below. He was happy to have experimented with new techniques on a smaller project.
