This is a large keepsake box that was made after a request from a grandaughter.
I purchased a few Black Bean boards from Greg Ward some time ago and machined them into 13 mm boards for box making.
The accents are from Rock Maple and the lid inset is Birds Eye Maple veneer on the outside and Elm burr veneer on the inside.
The lid stays are fully morticed into the base and for such a large box are the ideal way of completely eliminating stress on the hinges.
I had the engraving done by a local laser engraver who carried out the work before the inset was assembled in the lid.
The box is lined with a pig skin suede and measures 380 mm x 285 mm x 150 mm high.
