Project Information
This is a box with a couple new design elements that I came up with which are the curved lid with the kerfed front and back and the end winged caps which are done in the same fashion and just had to try and I think it turned out well .This all started with a couple of solid mahogany boards that my LJ buddy Andre gave to me last year they are salvage boards from a bookcase I believe and I have to thank him here again for the gift and in the spirit of giving .It took some time to come up with a project and I finally put on the last coat of finish today and came up with a name for the box that I thought is perfect .
The box is made from the mahogany and walnut fitted with a pair of SOSS hinges and a couple maple strips for the tray lift and just a little medallion on the tray lift. The tray and bottom are lined with a nice velour in deep brown and I used wipe on poly as finish .The size is 10" X 5 3/4" 5 1/2" . Now for a little tip to remove the smell of the poly finish I spray the inside with FABRIZE after the finish has completely cured .
Thank You Andre and I much appreciate the beautiful wood that got me into the spirit to design and make this box .
