I pretty much have finished working on the lid to this box. Now I've decided to work on the bottom half of the round ring box for a while. The box is about 2 3/4 inches in diameter. I stole the leaf pattern from the kind Mr. Bergling. (Hope he won't mind.) I cut the basic outline and now I've begun to relieve the background. The leaf band is about 7/8 inch wide, and just shy of 9 inches in circumference. I'm not sure how deep the relief is, but probably not much more than .005. It's still in the rough as I will have to decide if I want a stippled finish or possibly a Florintine type of finish.
Pictured alongside the box is my "Humanic" background removal tool. I have an unlimited supply of blood and muscle powering this unit. ;~) Actually it's a tool I made years ago from a .090 thick industrial reciprocal cutoff saw blade. Works like a champ.
