Default Miniature library

I collected a series of miniature copies of the classics (shakespear, Dante, etc.) and needed someplace to keep them so built a library, both sides are about 18 inches square, hinged, and close up like a suitcase for storage. I begged borrowed and stole some tiny bits and pieces to dress it up then decided that it needed furnishings and someone to read the books. Proportions are a bit out, but the whole thing is just a conversation piece...

Of course I needed a ship in a bottle for the library table lol

Very cool stuff, Bill! I'll bet they strike up quite a bit of conversation.

Now that's one creative way to both preserve and to display the miniature books AND reminds me that I probably spend way too much time behind the 'puter and should be reading the classic more!

Thank's for posting! I love the "small" stuff.

Wow! Amazing! I just made an appointment to have my eyes examined. No way could I ever do something that small.

Bill, just spent most of the night last night going thru tholder posts and came upon your miniature library, FANTASTIC, as are all of your other carvings, I really liked the job on flat plane with the help of Genes tutorial. I haven't seen any recent posts by you, I hope everything is well with you. Thanks for showing your work, I'm a fairly new carver and enjoy seeing the carvings of others.

Cliff
