Orange Painted Much Loved Wooden Carpenter's Box turned wood cup with handle with simulated bands around bottom

with simulated bands around bottom

a third is missing

very much in the manner of renowned Alebrije creator Manual Jimenez

and I can't resist snatching them up when I find them

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 with simulated bands around bottomI 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
