22. Slab Box
In creating my Slab Box I chose to not deviate from the use of slab construction. There are six sides to the box and the lid also has six sides as well as a top. The feet and knob are also constructed completely of slabs. Overall I think the glaze application looks stunning. The size of the box meet the requirements of the project.
