Project Information
Well I think it's about time to make a post - I've been admiring those of fellow LJs for years.
These were created as gifts for our son and sons in law. There many firsts; not the least was this represented my first attempt at making a box. Book matching, making inlay banding, installing banding, lining - you get the picture. Learn as you go. I was pleased with the finished products but better was how they were received.
Box 1: continuous grain birdseye maple box with book matched walnut lid, sycamore inlay banding, walnut tray with birdseye maple dividers and green pig suede lining.
Box 2: continuous grain walnut box with quilted maple lid, santos rosewood inlay banding, maple tray with walnut dividers and green pig suede lining.
Box 3: continuous grain purple heart box with birdseye maple lid, purple heart inlay banding, maple/purple heart tray with purple heart dividers and blue pig suede.
Finish is 3 coats of OSMO Polyx-Oil rubbed out with bees wax and 0000 steel wool.
I had lots of fun working on these. Hope you enjoy.
Comments/suggestions welcomed.
Cheers,
Bryan
