Target User

High school students who need something to store their pencils and pens.

I think that leaving the wood unpainted and as is would make the colors of the pencils and pens kind of pop out more.

I will apply an oil finish to make the wood more refined and make it look smoother and nicer.

Shapes

Dome like shape with holes inside to hold the pencils.

Simple geometric shapes like circles or squares or triangles

Construction methods

Use filing iron and sand paper to create a round smooth dome shape for the porcupine design.

Create several hexagonal shapes that are decently tall and connecting them together.
