Description: An in-depth look at cutting, carving, and finishing a complex shape, with flowing curves and very small components, in hardwood for an ornamental box. An example of a custom, personalized design that could be adapted for other woodwork as well. Not a project for a beginner, but well within the reach of many woodworkers. Sorry, plans for this design are not available on my website. This is a design unique to my grandson. For information about making your own very small carving tools, check out my earlier video series.
