toy – going to pieces

Miniature Wooden Music Box

This little gem plays the Pink Panther theme song when you spin the crank. The box itself is made of mostly walnut with other woods striping the lid — oak, maple, cherry. The sound emanates from copper pipes in the way of a giant church organ. There is also a copper plate with holes drilled into it to act as a speaker screen to allow the music to float out as well. Its pretty amazing the way the music is amplified by these two styles of sautered metal designs incorporated into the top of the wooden lid.

Linz: an action figure

Action Figures, Misc-gallery

I made this poseable wooden action figure of my wife. Her wooden and glass box close on the side with a series of pegs and a red ribbon lacing up the side. Her props include a tiny wooden camera, a teddy bear with a snake body, and a wooden and copper sickle.
