My wife found a 3-D Mirascope on Amazon. This is a child’s toy exploring 3-D projection. It uses a pair of parabolic mirrors to project the hologram.
As is, while interesting to view the hologram, the case is black and uninteresting. My task is to elevate this toy to be worthy of being on display.
I turned two bowl like pieces of walnut and fitted the toy inside. The fitting is the hard part.
The wood is walnut just over seven inches diameter and about three inches in total height. It is finished with shellac friction polish.
From toy box to display – Nice!
Enjoy!
Alan, that is a beautiful piece of walnut wood. I’m sure that your wife will love it. Thanks for sharing.

Good presentation. You took this item from being a toy in the kid’s room to being art on display for everyone. Thanks.
You are welcome Gerald. Any other ideas for projects that you would like to see?

Sorry, I do not take order – I show you how to do it yourself.
