"Art Box" (Andy Style)

Project by huff posted 41 days ago 1130 views 14 times favorited 34 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I really enjoyed the tutorial Andy did on his Art Style Box. I had to try one. I had some Wenge left from a project I just finished, so decided to use that and Curly Maple for the splines, handle and medalion. Lacquer finish.

Very Art Deco in style.I love it!
Wenge and Maple are a winning combination,and your shaping really gives it life.
It looks like you mastered the inset lid too, well done.
Overall a fine job indeed!

Hey Jerry, I sent that box off to Pennsylvania just before we had the picnic. It was a wedding present. Lauren took the pictures a couple weeks ago and has been after me to post it. Have to keep the girls in the family happy! lol.

huff,
Fantastic box man! I remember you commenting on this box at the picnic. I sure hope you don’t think that the Wenge you gave me at the picnic is ever gonna come back looking like this! You set the bar mighty high my friend.Congratulations on such an excellent build.

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

Nice job Huff.

I have been thinking that I am going to try my hand at these too. My wife really likes them and is pushing for one. I think she deserves it for putting up with me.

Fantastic box. Lots of beautifull workmanship here. You have done a fine job of following Andy’s lead and letting it take you down your own road to design and build.

Great choice of wood. I really like the way all these “Andy” boxes are different. Everybody has added their own flair to the projects.

Outstanding box, outstanding build. Very nice.

Another winner Huff! The wood combination is perfect as well as the finish. I love the flow of the box and your unique interpretation of the handle. I had a lot of fun making mine and need to get some more wood to make another. Thanks for posting and another thanks to Andy!

Absolutely gorgeous! Beautifully executed. The details match the design and combination of wood. A very elegant and unique piece. What are the dimensions?
