Winner: chenhsi for $3,055.00
Dice tower with 6 leaf iris opening, and a pull out dice tray secured by a portcullis. 4.5x5x7.5 inch (115x127x190mm)
The Alpha Knight and Night Witch with their shift logos worn proudly are guided by a compass rose. Across the tower, the road fades in from the west, the Desert Bus driving past. The Dawn Bard with sunrise strings gazes up at the Zeta Gundam above. Will Myst's starry expanse draw them all together, or will their worlds be Riven apart? Twist open the iris, lift the portcullis, and draw forth the rolling tray: this tower is about to see some adventure!
Use and Care: The iris twists open counter-clockwise and closes clockwise. After shipping, the mechanism may stick in places. A little shake and jiggle will get it moving. With a little use it'll be smooth as silk.
The portcullis can be held open by pulling it forward once it's all the way up. Push it in to let it drop.
The dice tray can be pulled out when the portcullis is open, lift it out of the well and pull forward.
The space inside the tray can be used for storage.
A simple beeswax finish can be used to refresh the look after a year or two.
Materials: Cherry with sapele inlay and tung oil finish

I remain convinced that making the world stranger makes it better, and hope to continue contributing to chaos and creativity!
