Acorn boxes with carved cap (Read 156 times)

Tony Rozendaal WR Addict Offline WR Rocks! Posts: 1,003 East Troy, WI Wisconsin USA Gender:	Acorn boxes with carved cap Nov 26^th, 2024 at 9:55pm I've been making these acorn boxes, and I usually just run a Wagner tool over the cap to texture it, but on this last one I used my flexible rotary shaft tool to carve the cap. Pretty happy with the way it came out. The cap is threaded. Cap is black walnut and bottom is lilac.

I'm pretty much left brained (I think). I think I understand what you are asking but any time in the past I have tried unstructured enhancements they pretty much end up in the discard pile. So, yes, I have considered it but don't know where to start. This acorn actually doesn't look anything like I had envisioned it. At one point I thought I had screwed it up beyond redemption. When it got to where I could live with it, and when the spouse said "That's really beautiful!" I quit. Grin

Nature is rarely symmetrical, a little irregularity (wabi-sabi) goes a long way. JMHO
