This wooden gift box features the constellation "Orion" using brass pins inlayed into the walnut top. The box itself is made of tiger maple with more walnut splines in the corners and bottom. The top also features a large hole halfway drilled through the top where Orion's belt drops through and into the top itself. I can see this constellation clearly from outside the shop door at present. I've always liked it and wanted to somehow incorporate it into one of my designs. I'm looking into doing more constellations and would gladly take requests.
These style boxes have earned the nick name "Dial Boxes" because of the hole and the handle on top. They make great gifts as they are or could make a stunning gift box with something else inside.
Finish is an oil / varnish blend with an oil / beeswax top coat.
Dimensions are about 10 x 6 x 3
