Project Information

It's just a name.

This is a combination EZ Mitre core and finger jointed box . The black liner box and lid contrast with a pattern of strips of Purpleheart and Pau Amarello (Yellowheart).

Construction - EZ Mitre/Finger (Box) jointed box with drop on lid.

Dimensions - 120 mm square x 60 mm high. 6 mm thick walls ( 3 mm core + 3 mm pattern)

Materials - Purpleheart, Pau Amarello (Yellowheart) and black dyed Birch ply

Adhesives - PVA, CA

Finish - Sanded to 240 Grit and finished with Spray Satin Acrylic

The last image shows the black box and all the little pieces the patterns were made from. Here's another taken during the make.



I've been off work with an injured back for a number of weeks and have only recently got back in the shop for a little, light, therapeutic box work.

Incredible craftsmanship! The cutting of the small parts must have been a work in itself. Those miters are all perfect as well. Huge inspiration. Thank you for sharing

Nice work as always Martyn and a very visually effective design on this box. Didn't know you were hurting, but glad to hear you are better! I was off work a whole year once due to a bad back, so I know how unempowering it can be. Get well fast!

I came expecting amazement and I got it! It is eye candy. Please take care of your back. I've been disabled since 1988 with mine. I know how hard it is to live with the limitations. thanks for sharing your craft.

You just floor me with all of the different ideas that you keep coming up with for this one box style. This one may be tittled Amazed, but all of your boxes fit that title as far as I am concerned. Thanks for sharing your never ending work with us.
