Next step is to rip to width… no photos…
Resaw on the bandsaw… by doing this you can actually get all 4 corners to have continuous grain…

Continuous grain on all 4 corners. Brilliant! Nice wood also. I have some Myrtlewood that would be perfect. But only 1 box, not 40

Nice blog. We are at a slight shortage of New Guinea Rosewood here in the states. You should start a lumber business. I sure do envy your choice of timbers to work with!!!!

Nice work, that Bi metal blade is making light work of it all.

Looks like it will generate more interest in the technology and we may see more continious grain products getting posted.

Two towers of boxes.

Now half way through the order for 45 boxes… update now 47 on order… This is what 20 boxes start out as…



The camphor began as a slab… after dressing and resawing to just under 10 mm the boards are cut in a specific sequence to ensure the grain runs all 4 corners.


Dovetail joints of course… the tails have been cut…


After the pins are cut the carcasses are assembled… ready for the grooves to be cut inside top and bottom… to receive the ply wood base and the book matched panels of the top…


A different view of the towers… And here in the foreground you can see the ones made last week…


Including one of the finished boxes…


Finally a selection of different box carcasses I am making on my own account… not ordered… for sale… The Gifkins Dovetail Jig is certainly getting a royal workout…

Lids.

Just a few more pics, showing the finished carcasses and the inserted lids.
I cut grooves inside the boxes, top and bottom to fit the base and the coved lid.
