Valet Box

really nice box. what do you plan on doing with it ?

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

Another nice one. Wenge is some fascinating wood.

Again, David, you have made a beautiful box. I agree that the velvet makes a nice contrast with the wood. Although the wenge and sycamore contrast nicely as well. Excellent choice of woods.

Excellent box, David! The lines and colors are very masculine…. definitely a valet box.

I agree with Charlie – it is a manly looking box – but I bet even a sissy would like this one. Nice tight box joints, good wood choices, excellent finish – well done.

Another beautiful box. I like the lid a lot. How did you make the joinery?

Beautiful.

Thanks for the comments folks.
I used an Incra Jig to make the joints.
The lid is made by butt jointing the various pieces together – I’vde got a nice jig for use on my router table that lets me make good straight edges which can be glued together.
I sell most of my stuff through a gallery which is run by volunteers – I’m one of the volunteers.

your rippled sycamore looks alot like a piece of tiger maple that I have…..great little box : )

Great box
