This is sort of a follow up to the box I posted recently as I liked the shape of it http://lumberjocks.com/projects/181250 but this box is made from a piece of red oak that had some black stains which made it useless for anything other then fire wood but it gave me some inspiration , a ebonized box . This is the result a box with seven degree tapered sides some corner detail and some shop made metal bling to brighten it up a bit .The interior contains a top suspended tray and both tray bottom and box bottom are fitted with a green suede liner . I used SOSS barrel hinges on this box which work very well . All wood parts are ebonized red oak except for the plywood bottoms .
The box size is 11” W x 6 1/2” D x 4 1/4” H
This is going into the annual Wood Workers Guild competition and if it does well I will donate it to a good cause to auction it of to raise some money .
Enjoy and comments and questions are always welcome and appreciated .

As usual another awesome project. What method did you use to ebonize the oak – it turned out great.
Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful ebonized box. You can’t see it’s oak.
Did you also use a steelwool and vinager mix?

I like the black a lot. The design and the color work great together.

First off, I like the name you gave it. You did a great job on trimming it out. It’s a winner in my book. Hope it does well for you Klaus.

Another great box. I really like this one. I hope it raises lots of cash when it’s auctioned.

Nice looking box Klaus. The metal (aluminum?) handles and pulls add a nice contemporary contrast.

Nice one Klaus. You know how I like the ebonized look and oak is perfect for it with its very high tannin content.
Your highlights work really well to compliment the black and the sloping sides give it a strong, well grounded feel.
Not much to no like here. Looks like another home run.
Congrats on another beauty and thanks for sharing.

Hey Klaus, another really nice one.
I really like the way you added some little half posts to drill for the Soss hinges. This seems like a great way to use them on a thin walled box. Thanks for the tip.

Klaus,
Nice engineering, design, and one step outside the box! LOL! I’d like to see a blog on the assembly of the 7 degree corners????? if you haven’t done one.
