Bowtie Box

Another prime example of a well executed box, Asher. I love how the points meet perfectly. Excellent veneer skils!

Thanks Jeff. When I frist started woodworking I worked for a friend who did alot of veneer work, so I have a good bit of expereince. Now that I work for my local city maintenacne dept. in their cabinet shop the only veneer work I get to do is at home, so I try to incorporate it in as many projects as possible.

It came out great. Very nice.

Asher, another lovely box; you already know how much I just love small wooden boxes! Nice detail and exceptionally clean.

Love it! Excellent veneering. What method did you use? I’m trying to justify getting the Roar-Rocket kit…

Nice job on the veneering. Great box.

Douglas on this box I simply used cuals and lot of clamps. That is pretty much all I used at home until just recently I constructed a venturi vacuum pump from a plan on joewoodworker. I’m not sure but I think the one you are talking about is the hand operated one that was designed by some skate board manufacture. I recently read an article in one of my wood working magazines about it and every thing they had to say was good and very afordable.

This is a fine looking box Asher. What glue do you use on your veneers?

Larry, I don’t use anything special, normally titebond II. Have you ever done any veneering? It is one of my favorite aspects of woodworking because it is so versatile and the most interesting figures are more readily avalable. And you know how we love that figure.

No veneering yet Asher, but I would like to get into it.

Just a wonderful box you’ve made here Asher.

Very nice design and execution. Thank you for sharing.
