This box is made of hickory, walnut, purpleheart and some unknown spalted wood with a cherry band separating the purpleheart on the top. After I milled the walnut, I saw the knots as eyes and thought it would make an interesting bottom. I was even able to have the bottom of the box wink at you (only one eye) total luck, not planned but very cool.

Really eye catching (pun intended!!).  Beautifully done.  What did you use for finish?

Thanks Barb, I used Spar Varnish, I wanted the colors to last as long as possible and that has UV inhibitors.
