OK, here goes another box ..... I keep getting ideas for another box. may not be all that good at times but at least it keeps me off the street.
The box is made from Mahogany with a clear finish. The corners have some what of a G&G look to them as do the 5/16 plugs. The top is from Maple with the inlay of Cherry. Hinges are from Oak that I stained dark for contrast. The lift on the top is of Mahogany as is the two Bars on the top. I stained them to match the hinges. Not sure if putting the bars on the top was a good choice or not, seemed like a good idea at the time. I may go back and add some dividers inside? Originally I was going to inlay a Oak leaf on the top. But after laying it out and making the template, I found my router coller was to large to fit all the small details of the leaf,so I just made up my own.
Always looking for new design for my boxes.
