I'm a big Carl Sagan, David Attenborough, Brian Cox (etc) fan. A critical thinker, admirer of all things Japanese craft, Automata, and deep time geology and critters. I have deep empathy for all animals, but very little for everything else with two legs.

Me box. I'm keeping this one.😁
I love this knurled grain. Photos don't do it justice - there's some chatoyancy going on - wood shimmer.
Japanese cedar, or Sugi, top and a red cedar box. Beeswax finish. I may add quite a few more layers of wax to really get the shine up.
Mmmm mmm, chatoyance....

Brush box. Sugi (Japanese cedar) with gorgeous tight grained Red Cedar bottom. The pull handle is made from Keyaki. (I have a few small scraps I save for 'just such an occasion. ')

A new version of one of my first designs. Just one panel of a Fuji view with a basic shoji look on the other three sides.
Japanese Cedar (Sugi) frame and base. Hand crafted!

Just finished rubbing some tung oil into this stand I made for the air fryer. No more travels to and from the stove top to the freezer lid 😄. Made from Japanese Cedar, aka Sugi.
Kitty for scale.
