This is a rare redwood burl jewelry box from the studio of Frank and Marilyn Buss of California. Redwood burl is highly prized for its rarity, dramatic swirling grain, and depth of color and this piece perfectly showcases its beauty with fluid, curving lines in a zoomorphic form suggesting a burrowing rabbit. The burl wood shimmers in the light with rippling highlights that make the surface come to life. The top piece smoothly slides away to reveal a small felt-lined compartment for small treasures. A perfect collectible for lovers of fine woodworking and California studio craft.
Fred & Marilyn Buss (Cazadero, CA) have been involved in handcrafts since they graduated from college. In 1971 they became interested in a simple band-sawn box form and developed the concept into a unique organic style. Their sculptural boxes are shaped and smoothed by a series of techniques Fred and Marilyn have developed in their decades of box-making experience. The couple is renowned for their fine selection of woods and beautifully finished pieces.
Maker's mark and wood type incised on underside.
