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.

Nicely done. Very clean design. One could do much worse than being influenced by Ian's work. Hope to see many more fine boxes from you.

Very handsome work! You chose two outstanding craftsmen to follow along with for this project (when it comes to veneered boxes my personal two favorite craftsmen). Simple elegant box… Most definitely two thumbs up. Very well done! I'm sure your bride is going to love this jewel…
