This is a progression from ‘A’ String and the string box version of Dinner on the Lake of Fire, posted yesterday.
Size : 110mm square x 45mm high on a 120mm square x 5mm high pedestal base.
Materials : American Black Walnut, Pau Amarelo, Birch Ply
Glues : PVA and CA
Finish : Spray Acrylic (satin finish)
The stringing on the sides is cleaned up (right in pic’ 4) with respect to ‘A’ String (left in pic’ 4). Its also a lower profile version. Its pattern directly relates to Dinner on the Lake of Fire (centre in pic’ 4)
The latter two were made at pretty much the same time, this week, ‘B’ String being finished today.

Martyn,
Very nice indeed. I’m running out of adjectives.

Martyn; When you mention “EZ Mitre” are you refering to the technique used to cut the box and form it or are you talking about that EZ Mitre tool I have seen advertised for cutting tiles and other corners. After watching the video on the use of the tool, it looks like it could be used to cut a veneer pattern. Maybe my perception is a little off now that they put me on all this medicine. I still think your Box collection is outstanding. Will you be selling them as a set or putting them in an exhibit?

Amagineer, I’m glad you like my boxes. I have no plan to sell any of them at present. They are in a ‘rolling’ exhibition at my local museum
Regarding EZ Mitre, the answer is no it does not refer to any tool but a technique. Just click on the words EZ Mitre in the description above and you will be taken to a blog describing it.
