Description

White pine oval box form (a), finely made, with two laminated blocks of pine, a relieve at the beginning of the veneer band wrap, a vertical channel in side filled with a white pine strip secured by a flat-head wood screw and another vertical channel deeper than the first and open. An elliptical cavity has been drilled and carved into the mold top through which a carriage bolt is inserted, secured by a wing nut and maple spacer. Form is stained and varnished. A crudely made mounting platform (b) of a scavenged piece of white pine with a butt hinge mortise in one edge, a stop of pine nailed to the underside and two holes drilled through platform near the ends. The mold carriage bolt occupies one hole and the other apparently was used to secure the platform to a work surface.

Notes

One of a group of oval box forms made or modified to be bolted to a platform, allowing the mold to be turned as the veneer band is wrapped around it.
