"VOX POPULI"
"Vox Populi".  A "vox" is a hidden box that when
closed looks like a hollow vessel such as "Woodstock".  The top portion
is actually hollow and the two parts are held together with some tiny
rare earth magnets in the rims.  It is 4 1/2" tall and 3 1/2" in
diameter.


Made of big leaf maple with an ebony collar.


Size: 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" (115 x 90mm)
 


ART'S EQUIPMENT
Art’s lathe is an Omega Stubby 750.  He uses numerous power carving and pyrography tools, plus various inks and dyes to enhance the surfaces of his turned pieces. The pieces are often turned from wet wood, usually local big leaf maple or cherry.
He uses small amounts of exotic woods (such as ebony) for for accents.  Most of his recent work involves hollow forms.
