Orange Painted Much Loved Wooden Carpenter's Box turned wood cup with handle very much in the manner

very much in the manner of renowned Alebrije creator Manual Jimenez

but I rather like the directness of the brush without it

with simulated bands around bottom

has great finger joined corners on all sides

The splint ash visible on the bottom of the basket has been dyed a blue green

Orange Painted Much Loved Wooden Carpenter's Box turned wood cup with handle very much in the mannerI spotted this orange painted wooden carrying box from afar and knew I had to have it; the patina on its old orange paint, covered in scuffs and scrapes, is just perfect, as is its form, and its size plus it's useful for everything. I found it filled with old hardware, which its owner kindly relocated into another box, but it would also be great as a caddy for art supplies, or for mail, or silverware, or whatever. Just great. 12 1 2" long x 8 1 2 deep
