Project Information
This is a box that I just finished. I wanted to try to incorporate some of the themes from the Art Deco movement without going all the way there. I saw some boxes like this on Etsy, and it seemed like a good match.
The main box is built using veneer over a Baltic birch ply core. I finally got my shop cleaned up enough and fired up the vacuum press. I plan to revisit the press more often. The feet and handle holders are made with black walnut. I cut 3/8 inch sticks and used a 3/8 inch round-over bit in the router table to make the rounded ends. The handle and small strips in the walnut are tiger maple. The top of the handle has a bull nose profile formed with a 3/16 round-over. There are two walnut and maple strips under the top that locate it on the box.
The size is about 11" x 5" wide by about 5" deep not including the handle. The finish is Danish oil and wax.
