My wife has started to get back into her art, and as of late has been enjoying using oil pastels. To help keep them from rubbing together in the box she was storing them in, I made this box for her. The box is read oak, and I took my first shot at a veneer inlay. The trays are pine. Dimensions 12” x 8” x 4”. | |||||||

Great looking box. The fluted trays look like they would have taken some time to do. The inlay on the top looks great.

Nice box ! For a first try at inlay, I’d say you should be very pleased. I’ll bet the art stores don’t sell anything remotely as nice.

Caught my eye. Wow! nice work. Looks like you laminated a veneer in the marqrtry?
Wanted to do an artist box for my friend who just had his first gallery show. Tood me “It would be pearles (sp?) before swine.” LOL! Still thinking about what to give him as a functional and personal tool. I’m sure your with said “Wow!” as well.
For woodworkers it means “I wish I’d made that!” a quote from David Savage master woodworker.
