kon Teak e Boxes

Project by Douglas Krueger posted 106 days ago 418 views 1 time favorited 9 comments Add to Favorites Watch

The H1B1 strain of the Box flu hit and the result was a feverish desire to construct rectangular wooden shapes. These are the first 2 of 15.

Tops are teak with some free hand patterns, remainder is unknown local Thailand wood, think the Thai’s called it maca. Dovetailed and then rounded corners, wooden hinges and several coats of paste wax.

Great looking boxes, Doug!
Sorry to hear about the “Box Flu”. I contracted it and I can only tell you that the symptoms worsen over time. No known cure…but making another box seems to alleviate some of the “suffering”... ;)

Doug, these are really nice looking boxes. The flutes and designs add interesting details to the lids that improve the box’s visual appeal. I have yet to catch this “disease” but, with inspirational posts like this, I am sure I will not be able to hold off much longer. :)

Beautiful set of boxes (all 15) I like the way you veried the lid designs to make each one different. All have very nice wood and grain apeal.

Fantastic work on the wooden hinges.

Keep it up.

I looked at all your boxes, but came back to this post because of the lids. A fairly simple execution for someone of your obvious skill, but it took a not so simple idea first. I guess that’s the hard part when you make this many; making them unique and you pulled it off. Great job.

All your boxes are fabulous and as Dale said they are all unique and that’s what makes them even more special. Well done
