The renaissance sculptors often said that they didn't carve their masterpieces from marble, instead the figure was in the rock all along - it only needed to be freed. I take the same approach when making my creations. I found a piece of plain 1x6x8 pine board and saw some potential in the peculiar speckling and marks in the wood grain. The idea to highlight the woodgrain in an unusual way led me to create something entirely different, a flask gift box that shows off the wood's unique qualities.
