Hi, have been building a box for my sister's knitting needles, with dimensions to her specification. Ended up 500 x 200 x 120. When asked about the number of needles she has, I got " We won't go there". Looking forward to getting a picture of it full of knitting needles :)
Had a bit of trouble initially after glue up and cutting off the lid, when the box sides expanded. but the lid did not. I received some great advice and suggestions from forum members which were very much appreciated. I eventually ended up sanding the outsides flat, so that you can hardly see the box/ lid join line.
Box details:
Sides: single black bean board with continuous grain around box.
Lid: Huon pine board cut into 1mm veneers and glued to both sides of 4mm marine plywood substrate
Lid inlay: Queen Ebony from Solomon Islands
Corner Keys: 2mmQueensland silver ash timber
Base: veneered radiata pine timber on 4mm marine plywood substrate
Lining: Red pigskin spray glued on 2mm cardboard
Finish: Livos Kunos #244 natural eco oil from Germany
Tray details:
Sides: Huon pine, with huon pine divider
Corner Keys: 2mm Queen Ebony from Solomon Islands
Base: Base: veneered radiata pine timber on 4mm marine plywood substrate
Lining: Red pigskin spray glued on 2mm cardboard
Finish: Livos Kunos #244 natural eco oil from Germany
