After I had a pretty good handle on how to make the bandsaw boxes (yes TopomaxSurvivor another bandsaw box) I wanted to experiment a little bit with color layers and brighter colors.
I laminated four layers of Yellowheart with three stripes of Bloodwood and got a very vivid result. The colors stayed bright and the box was a little bit of a diversion from the more sedate browns of walnut, etc.
I added simple brass pulls and flocked the inside with wine fibers. I keep forgetting how bright the Yellowheart is until I use it again. There have been discussions about Purpleheart and Padaul browning over time. Does anyone know if the brightness of Yellowheart fades or changes?
The dimensions on this box are about 9” wide, 5” tall, and 5 1/2” deep. This one has a semi-gloss poly finish since I wanted the yellowheart to glow instead of the finish.
Thanks for taking a look.

Cool box… I have a question on the flocking….. are you using the flocking stuff that you pump onto the box with a tube thing or is it the sheets of felt stuff that you have to cut and stick on the inside of the box??? I have used the sheet of felt and its a pain so I wanted some incite into the tube stuff…....

The stuff I use is fibers you pump into the drawer. You coat the inside of the drawer with a matching glue and then you put the fibers in the tube. You pump them into the drawer by sending them airborne with the tube. They stick to the adhesive and form the lining. It’s a little messy but there are ways to minimize the amount of airborne fibers so that they aren’t too obnoxious. You let the drawer sit and once the adhesive dries, the fibers are permanently bonded to the drawer.
Pretty spiffy system overall and a little goes a long way. I’ve lined over 100 drawers of various colors and I still have a ton of stock to keep working with.
