I like mayan art and hieroglyphs. I thought this box could support the designs well. There are different glyphs that go around the middle and I don't know what any of them stand for.

On a side note, I am hoping that I can turn more elegant finials.

This is awesome! It reminds me of an incense-burner. Excellent color and texture man. I share in your mayan interest, some of the most unique art in the world.

Ok, I maybe sound crazy but I wonder what kind of " burner" did you use to get the desired effect?

How did you managed to burn evenly and with a crisp hye like that of an ordinary kind of wood? This box got finesse I must say! :d

I used the same burner that I use for every thing that I have done, my Colwood. There are tricks to use to keep steady while burning and different tips that allow for a really fine line. One of the great advantages of the burner that I have is that it has the ability to vary the temp of the tip when I use it. There are a lot more technique that goes into burning then what I have said but it is hard to describe without demonstrating what that is.

But, what about the "spire" of the Mayan box?

Do you mean the finial on the top? It has nothing to do with the design that is burned. It is just a design feature that is there for comfort with lifting the lid.

What kind of wood are the Mayan box made of and I wonder where these glyphs originate from?

The wood is maple. The glyphs come from the border of the well known sarcophagus lid of a mayan king named Pacal. I have a book that has archeological drawings of carvings and paintings from different mayan cities.
