Ham by Jack Mauch

Description

When we asked Jack Mauch to make a bandsaw box, we didn’t think he’d ham it up so much! This life-sized ham is made of cork, carved holly, and various wood veneer. With ample storage space under the “lid,” this bandsaw box could make the perfect centerpiece at a holiday dinner, even for a vegan!
