This one hurts my eyes to look at for more than a few minutes at a time. It was inspired by the hazard warning tape I was stacking on the shelf, at work, one day.

This is a double skinned, EZ Mitre box.

Dimensions – 102mm square x 62mm high. 6mm wall thickness (2×3mm)

Materials – Ebony, Pau Amarello, Sycamore, Birch Ply and Foam (base)

Adhesive – PVA

Finish – sanded to 320 grit then Spray Satin Acrylic

The first box image is an isometric view, followed by the top and one side, the top, one side and open with lid in background. It is a progression from Louee in my Hewee, Dewee and Louee post in that the side pattern has gone from vertical to 45 degrees slanted,

It looks like it came out well. It doesn’t hurt as much when the page isn’t scrolling… and I enjoyed the warning!

Nice one Martyn.
I hope LC is wrong and it doesn’t frighten the other boxes.

Love watching these develop.

My first thought was
“Martyn, you’ve got to stop stealing those caution markers from the highway works sites…. People might die !”
Now I see it was an inspiration from the tape.
I apologize for thinking you might do that Martyn. ;-)
This is as all have said, another great little piece of fine creative craftsmanship, perfect in every way.

Even if you put aside the visual appeal of this box, the construction and workmanship involved in what you created here is incredible! All those perfect miters and corners make my head spin! The wood choices are perfect too. Nothing else would have been better. A really awesome work of art Martyn!

Awesome Martyn.

I suppose you spent 95% of the time in designing the cuts, alignment and so forth, and only 5% in the execution. Am I right?

Two colors stripes provides better effect,
