Project Information

Hello Lumberjocks: My wife ask me if i would make her a pen and pencil set to give to a good friend of hers for christmas. I told her i would, she wanted it out of the zebra wood. After i was finished with the pens i said it needed a nice box for them to go in, so i made the box out of some scrap 1/2 inch african mahagony wood i had in the shop. I thought it turned out pretty good. Thanks for checking it out.

Monty,
Pen and boxes look great! The handmade box is a nice touch. Love the hardware. Would like to know how you went about making the box.

Thanks for all of your comments. Rick I took two pieces of 1/2 wood seven inches long 3 inches wide. I took a template and put a round on the corner then used a bandsaw to cut the corners round. Theni put the two pieces together with sticky side tape. Then i sand them so both pieces wood be the same. I took a cove bit for the inside. Put hinges on them and a little clasp on the front. I hope this answered your question.

Thanks
Monty

Really nice job Monty, that is the way to complete the set, very special. I made some pens a few years ago & some I'm ashamed to say I gave away in bought plastic cases wish I'd thought of that.
Thankyou
Trevor
