Butterfly box

Superb as usual Ian. The matches are perfect and the Walnut sets them off beautifully.

I’d like to rave on but these boxes speak eloquently for themselves.

Great looking box’s. Love the colors and finish, The front is very intersting.

Very appealing design : )

Ian,
Your design skills jump to the forefront once again. Elegant little creations. Wonderful combination of uncluttered and superbly detailed. The front inlay/applique seems perfect. Hints at something almost oriental (as with some Japanese cabinet hardware) yet also your preferred Deco detailing. Really nice. If I saw this box on the other side of the world, I would recognize it as an Ian Hawthorne box.

Absolutely wonderful, the walnut border is a stunner combined with that burl. The shellac & wax finish is so sweet too!

-- Thomas - There is no such thing as a problem, there only are solutions.

Extremely handsome.
And very well balanced design.
I love them.

Your book matched wings are just perrrrrfect and so’re all your previous boxes ! ! ! ! !

-- Paul - The sweetest sound in my shop, next to Mozart, is what a hand plane makes slicing a ribbon.

Many thanks guys – I just got word from the gallery that the customer was over the moon with them :)

Cheers

Excellent work and some beautiful tops there. I bet they’re squabbling over who gets which one.
