Well everybody, here are some pics of a box i've been working on lately. It's a pretty straight forward design.
The case and internals are made from Tasmanian Myrtle, the lid insert is some really nice Quilted Myrtle, the lighter lid surround, base and mitre keys are some English Ash I had and the darker lid inlay is Australian Mulga. Dimensions are 350mmX250mmX90mm and sides are 14mm thick. I used some brass strap hinges. The inside, under the lid and tray were lined with some blue felt.
The case is made from one billet of myrtle that i ripped into 4 sides for continuity and the lid insert is one piece ripped and bookmatched. I made it as one piece and cut the lid off. It is finished with lots of coats of satin Wipe-on-Poly then polished. Unfortunately, some of the mitre keys darkened when the finish was applied and kind of look a bit sad.
Apologies for the rather ordinary pics, a bit overcast. I wanted to get some better pics of the sides but the camera batteries died.
Hope you all like it.
Steven.
