Good Things Come In Small Packages

I don’t make boxes too much smaller than this one. Fashioned from a knotty piece of crab apple and with an application of blue dye, this box really punches above its weight. The density of wood changes rapidly around knots and swirling grain and that affects the amount of dye the wood takes up. The grain color changes, mostly seen here in shades of brown, shine right through the dye.
