In November last year I posted a project showing an Art Deco style box made from Australian Rosewood. An old Lawyer friend of mine asked if I would make a pen box in this style to house his collection of pens. I had some small pieces of Australian Cedar left over from some earlier projects and with this style of box you dont need large boards.The first four pictures show a curved lid box made from some old dark cedar and the trays in this box are lined with a green leather seude.
The last two pictures show a flat lid box that I made from the left over cranky cedar I used in the document box posted last month.
When finished, this simple style of box with the curved ends has a lovely “feel” when handled. As mentioned in my earlier post, this is not my design.

Very slick. I like the way it opens up. Very nice grain. Beautiful way to house some nicely turned writing tools.
