This wooden kaleidoscope is clearly fit for a Victorian parlor. It has elegant "Old World" styling and distorts objects in dazzling color and with great clarity. Sources are included for the recommended surface mirrors. It is rare on any scope, but this scope has an adjustable mirror for multiple faceted images. A hand crank turns the object box and object box lighting can be added, detailed by the plan you receive. Sealed oil images can add a graceful snowfall effect. Quick-change object boxes. Add rainbow colored stained glass chips, iridescent chips like crystal chandelier, tiny seashells, rhinestones, or whatever you can imagine. The plan includes instructions and full size patterns for a pedestal which could also be used for a clock, birdcage, or other project. Inlay scrollwork in the sides. Scope is 12" long and the pedestal stands 44" tall. Super interesting project. And if you like this sort of scrollsaw project, you HAVE to see the Marble Chest just for posterity.
