Tapered Hexagons:  Bold, Stylish... absolutely Unique!

Although these take the longest to build, they're also my favorites.  I design and build each 
one myself.  In addition to their extraordinary beauty, I'm especially proud of the symmetry
I'm able to achieve with all.  Balanced like a top!  Excluding hardware, all are comprised of over 250 pieces -- each precisely cut, fitted, and handled -- multiple times, during assembly.  I regard each as a unique work of art.  Commissioned work aside, I never build the same box twice.  You'd best hurry, the holidays are just around the corner!

"Azul Flores" tapered hexagonal planter box
The shadows cast by this are more than I could have hoped for!  Building the semi-staggered panel texture made it easily the most labor-intensive of the group.
That being said, you'll see the 3-D, "staggered blade" style again.

"Big in Japan" tapered hexagonal planter box
I wanted to build a planter worthy of this vibrant, eye-popping red, and I believe I hit the mark with this one.  With its long lines and razor-thin panel blades, it's easily the most graceful of the collection.  Recommended for indoor use as red tends to fade.  (Price includes shipping within continental U.S.)

"Hawkeye" tapered hexagonal planter box
Like it's bright red cousin, "Big in Japan", I wanted to build something worthy of this vibrant, eye-popping gold/yellow.  I'm constantly experimenting, so this model marked the first time I'd reversed the posts wide-end-down, creating this decidedly "silo" appearance.  'Corn Kernel' texture, bright yellow AND silo-shaped?  What else could I call it but the (Iowa) "Hawkeye"?!
