Oval box form, Mount Lebanon, NY
Description
A finely made oval box form laminated from two pieces of white pine cut and sanded to ellipse and stained and varnished. Relieve channels were cut into a side, a shallow one at end of relieve later filled with a strip pf pine and a deeper channel left open. An elliptical cavity was drilled and carved into the top (3/4" deep) and a hole for a carriage belt drilled through. For whatever reason, the bolt was discarded and a rectangular pine block nailed to the underside of the form, presumably for securing form in a vise.
