Does anyone remember where...?

[TheTiddles]

I once saw a website of a guy who made turned boxes that looked like beetles, the wing cases lifted off to reveal the storage area and legs and antennae were carved from ebony or similar, the wing cases and carapace were made from sections of hollow forms, they were often mounted on a large brass pin that went right through and into a stand so they looked like mounted specimens...

I can't find that website anywhere, anyone remember it?

did a search for scarab box and came up with this
http://www.rayjoneswoodboxes.com/Very%2 ... tml#Scarab
no pins involved so possibly not the one youre thinking of but interesting none the less (and a tad pricey!)

I seem to remember one which started off about copying and copyright?

This is quite an impressive one and an original idea. I like the inside, not too sure about the outside form, but quite brilliant indeed.

So i've looked at all the boxes (I won't comment on the insects!!!)

The boxes are amazing. I love them. I can only dream of ever producing something even a quarter as good as them.
