Project Information
I made this for a friend/co-workers wedding. It is quilted HICKORY (I know I about died when I saw the board) with lacewood top. Brass and lacewood splines. I made the brass thingy for the handle and used a brass rod for the pin hinges since the lid was so heavy. I delivered it a week late because I took a ton of photos at the wedding and used the announcement and one of my shots for the lid frames. It holds six 5×7 photo albums that I filled with the shots I took. Pockets for thank you cards and stationary. You can't really see it but there is a rail for pen pencil set I also turned out of scraps of the hickory. I didn't get a shot of them but the feet are beveled squares of the lacewood.
I learned a few things on this project/
1. if your brass splines are not cut perfectly, don't try to sand them flush, pull them out and redo them.
2. fresh cut brass is sharp as hell
3. don't show your other friends that recently got married and which you store bought their gift!
The photos were taken before I got my light tent so not that great of quality. sorry
