This box is made from 2 pieces of oak, the timber has a really nice grain pattern. The top of the box is set with shredded and torn up American Banknotes and the centre of the lid is set with a Bitcoin. The box splits into two around the middle of the box.
The lid does have a little play in it so it isn’t going to shut tight which I prefer.
This box measures 133mm in diameter with a height of 88mm.
Maker: Purpleheart Woodturning
Dominic tells us “My woodturning journey began in May 2019 when I attended a craft fair in the UK and I was fortunate enough to make a simple wooden pen on one of the stalls and from that moment I was hooked. As soon as I got back to Jersey I immediately ordered my first lathe, tools, chucks and a large volume of wooden blanks. I began to look into the concept of using materials other than wood for my products and I now make a variety of giftware including wooden bowls, wooden pens, resin pens with encased stamps, bottle stoppers, keyrings, Christmas decorations etc.”
