Here is a box that I made to go with the Wualnut Gavel I made a few weeks ago. The customer wanted a box to keep it from getting beat up. (he had it in a cloth bag)
I used the drawer sides from the dresser I was given. Purchased the corner protectors from Rockler, and the clasps, hinges and handle were from a BackGammon case from Goodwill. The fur is also from Goodwill (I do like to recycle/reuse/repurpose)haha
There is a block in the lid to hold the handle down when closed. Also a flap of the fur to hold the sounding board in place. It is a VERY snug fit in the box. You have to compress the fur in order ti get it to close.
Finished with spray on poly, 4 coats.
13 1/2 X 6 1/2 X 4 inch
Please leave all comments and suggestions. Thank You for looking.

That’s funny that he needed a box to keep his beater from getting “beat up”. In any case, great excuse to do some recycloing with style. Great box and (re)use of materials.

Great Job, Scrappy!! Love the re-using Spirit!!
I’ve only made a couple of boxes that were size-specific and found them to be more challenging…

Nice work. I doubt that your customer could be any happier. I would have liked to have seen the look on his face the first time he saw it.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
I delivered this today and he was VERY happy! It has lead into a lead for more work. A couple of the guys at work make knives and he was showing them the box. Now they are talking about maybe getting custom boxes for some of their knives. Word of mouth is the best advertisement.
Thanks again. It is because of all the things I have learned on this site, from all of you that made this possible.
