Description This is the most complicated box from my 'Ivy/Root' rage that I've undertook so far. Its about 60% complete so far as the bulk of the root carvings have been completed. Unlike my other 'Root' boxes not only are the roots intertwined (which sadly the picture doesn't do it any justice) but instead of having 100-150 leaves, I'm aiming for this box to have between 300-400 leaves. The box will have no handles as you use the 'Root' to open the drawers.
My only Regret about the design (That I intend on rectifying) is the fact that, Like most of my earlier work I didn't pay as much attention to the back of the unit as i did the front (as most of my pieces where designed as table top pieces, usually with the back facing the wall) However, I'm planning to rectify this so that this particular piece looks just as good from all sides!

truly beautiful work (: I especially like that you haven't finished this one by polishing or staining the wood, the design is incredibly affective left raw and natural looking. Absolutely stunning.

Did you buy a made chest of drawers and modify it or did you make the chest of drawers yourself?

Wow, that's amazing. I'm becoming a really big fan of your art^__^ How long did it take you to make this? It's incredible! (I'd probably accidentally saw my fingers off or something) Keep working, i can't wait to see how it turns out!
