Celtic Box #4

Thats AWESOME! I cant help but think that it would have made a nice cigar humidifier. Love the hinges, and the clasp…...heck I love the whole thing! Can you tell me where you got the wood? Id love to have some of that

That is a beautiful piece of historical wood. You didn’t mention the hinges, I don’t think anyway, but they are one of my favorite p;arts of the box – along with the clasp.

Nice job Patrick! I started working on box joint hinges before Christmas and got side-tracked on other projects. I need to get back to them after seeing yours.

That box is so unusual and also beautiful. You did a great job on the hinges and catch and I think that the woods you chose contrast in a wonderful way and enhance the design of the box very well.

A fascinating series. Sensitive, economic use of the Bog Oak with some good knot carving. Interesting contrast of Spalted Maple. Whats not to like. An excellent piece and a good post, Patrick.

Nicely, nicely done. I love the hinges, but the clasp is astonishing. you must have carved it after separation, because the knotwork shows no room for a kerf.

Great project and presentation.

Ohhhh that killer clasp set up on the front just makes this piece IMO…. Man! I really like that….. Very cool!
