Project Information

This is a Crawford style box, made of bubinga veneer over birch ply. The homemade banding is yellowheart and purpleheart and the finish is shellac. On the interior I have lined it with faux burgundy leather, a scrollsaw lift out tray, solid brass quandrant hinges and a full mortice lock, and of course the lovely lady on the lid.

There's a lot to like here Tom.
I like understated marquetry, the scrollwork and the outstanding veneer in particular and the banding isn't too shabby either.
Another wonderful piece.

Tom - really nicely done. the banding really makes the pattern in the veneer pop. Nice job on the sloped mitered corners - its always a bit challanging to get perfect. The lift-out is quite creative. I like the design very much. Thanks for posting this one. Can't wait to see your next piece.

Tremendous work you exerted on this. The curves alone is difficult to follow plus inside work.
Excellent box. The one who will own this will treasure it forever. Keep it going

I had to stop and catch my breath on this one. Outstanding! The banding is rich with out being gawdy, and the wood grain is impecable. ... Five stars here for sure.
