The Pentagram Box

So called because of the pentagram burned onto the face of the catch, this box is unique in more ways than one.

It incorporates a slightly simpler type of "rod and orifice" catch and a method of shaping the wood that enabled me to sculpt the legs and lid into graceful curved shapes.

The receptical housing the cards is of pine, lined with velvet, and contrasts beautifully with the rich, dark colours of the legs, lid and catches, which were shaped from a variety of dense Australian native cabinet timbers.
