Huon pine and Myrtle.
It was intended to be all huon
but forgot to cut front and back off the draw.Its easy done !!!!
So had to cut new faces for the draw.
oil finish but not impressed with it.

Hi PTC
I'm not normally a fan of these boxes, but I really like this leaf design bandsawn box. If you're not impressed with it, post it my way! Do you sell them?

Hi PTC,
I think the contrasting timber is a great feature. Not sure what you are after with the finish, but I have just done some clocks and am not thrilled with the burnish oil finish even after wet sanding to 1200 grit - got today some traditional wax neutral colour and a swansdown mop to see if a silky finish can be achieved - just a thought.

Hi PTC - I think your box is just beautiful! I love the contrast too. I agree with Dan and Tom - look out - you'll have a bidding war next :D

I will sell them when have a few more made.
Wendy ,
the contrast was by accident. but it worked out ok.

I think traditional wax will give a better finish, ( the oil Stinks) smell.

Great job PTC! Always love a nice contrasting set of timbers. Just a question on execution, do you cut the back off first, then cut out your drawer shape, and then re-attach the back piece? http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon14.gif

Matrix
1 Square block of wood
2 cut off the back.
3 cut out draw.
4 glue back on.
5 cut out outside design
6 draw cut front and back off
7 cut out centre of draw
8 glue back front and back of draw
NEVER !! sand any faces being glued back together
9 sand and finish.
contrasting timber was due to not cutting front and back off draw
befor starting to cut out draw,but turned out ok
