Captain Ahab's Moby Dick - JP3329
Herman Melvill's story of the White Whale, Moby Dick, was the inspiration for this box. It was such fun to paint and I wanted it to be very "folksy", so I hope you enjoy it also.
This whale box is made from poplar. This bundle includes the design shown. Whale box is 7" long x 3 1/2" wide and 2 1/2" high.
