Project Information

After finding a piece of highly figure 5/4 walnut and then reading Tim Hill Blog tiled Secrets of the String Box Revealed I decided to make another box. I used book matched Maple and Purple Heart for the box top and the walnut for the box sides. I thing the next time I use the String technique I will use less off the contrasting "String".

That is an outstanding box Jake. The woods really look nice together and that string work adds a fine touch.

Jake,

I like the strong contrast of stringing and the amount you used. It's very bold. On the other hand, I don't think the purpleheart doesn't stand out very much so it doesn't lend much to the design. Too bad the stringing is separated around the corners but I think you know how to make that work next time.
