Tiger stripe box

Today, I decided to play around some more with the epoxy putty.  When I put some of the terracotta colored putty next to the black putty, it reminded me of tiger stripes.  Well that needed to be played with some more!  I found a piece of cherry that looked decent and decided to see if I could make something that looked like it had tiger stripes.  I quickly realized that tiger stripes aren’t perfectly perpendicular, so getting some kind of variance in the lines was more difficult than I thought it was going to be.  Here’s what I came up with.  All things considered, I think I nailed this one!

I had some left over putty, so I put a little more tiger stripe on the underside of the lid. Apparently, like cowbells, you just can’t have enough tiger stripes!
