This is a grouping of one of my most popular boxes, which I call Teardrop. It was originally conceived about 35 years ago and I continue to make them to this day. The simple, clean lines and delicate curves of this box, with the tapered point make it surprisingly quite challenging to turn. It is a box that I have frequently demonstrated making, at symposiums and workshops, so if you have been to any of those, this box will be familiar to you. I was surprised to see that it had never been shared on here and I can’t believe that I overlooked it.
The box is made from African blackwood and is approximately 2.25β³-3β³ in diameter by 3.25-4.25β³ high.
Contact me if interested in purchasing this box.

Oh how gorgeous! And they photograph beautifully. They look like very pretty Hershey's kisses :-)))
Really beautiful, I love the simplicity and the wood I guess it feels good to hold them in the hand!
+Ursula Klepper thank you Ursula, the wood feels silky smooth in your hand🌞
+Liz C thanks very much. Hard to photograph actually, black and reflections are always a challenge.😎
Beautiful boxes Steve and am always amazed at how you can turn such a point
on them.
Awesome art I would like to learn from you

That's exactly the way it looks like: "silky smooth" :o)
Familiar and very special! xx
They're great. I'm sure I'm not the first person to note that they look exactly like Hershey's Kisses.
+Lynn David Newton I thought so too π
Bella! Merci
+Joyce Fay they are familiar to you! Thanks.
+Lynn David Newton thanks very much Lynn. Not the first, but to be honest, I had never seen a Hershey's kiss when I made it and since then only seen one, I think.
+Vanessa Lalloo they are tougher to chew, though! (and a whole lot bigger) but longer lasting. π
+Margarite Aviva Issaacs gracias! Thank you!
