This is a small box, measuring 100mm x 100mm x 50mm on a 6mm pedestal base, with drop on lid. It is a solid pattern in Ebony, Padauk, Pau Amarello and Yew. Constructed using the EZ mitre method (from a board resembling pic’ 4) with mitred lipping in Walnut. Glued with PVA and finished with Organoil wax over Liberon sanding sealer.
I think it looks a little Victorian.

Wow, Martyn! My jaw dropped with this one! Even though I have come to expect awesome from you, I couldn’t help but gasp when the picture popped up on my screen. This is just wonderful! The colors are amazing and it is absolutely beautiful! Words just don’t do it justice. I know I say it every time, but I believe this is one of my favorites of yours. I can’t believe how you just keep outdoing yourself! Kudos, my friend!

I am totally amazed. Curves! Captivating work. How you keep “upping” your own work is wonderful to watch. Plus what Shiela said!

That is sweet Martyn.
So your circle cutting shows it’s head. This is really cool. Good planning and execution. The miters look perfect.
