Project Information
I made this box for my wife as a birthday present for her 40th. The top is veneered MDF framed with black-white-black stringing and then framed again with tiger maple strips. The box body is QS cherry with a thin piece of lacewood around the top of the box. The interior was lined with red suede. Finish is shellac and wax. The box is heavily influenced by Ian Hawthorne's work and the hinges are his neat hinges. I also want to say thank you to Roger Bean who answered several of my questions about his box lining methods. Breaking the rules a little with this one as I have not finished the interior tray that will go with the box so this is not a completely "finished" project….sorry. I had to move it out of the shop to start another project and figured I just post it now. Thanks for looking.
