    Default And another box

    This one is for the remotes and is 301x210x65mm made from Tas myrtle with a burl veneer top framed with solid so I could have a raised panel with the veneer . Finished with N/C polished with EEE . I borrowed Zenwood's idea for the lid support Thanks Zenwood

    Very flash. It will certainly look the goods on the coffee table.

    I know that remote controls tend to breed but do they need their own enclosure.
    Whats wrong with keeping them stuffed doen the side of the lounge?

    Grandkids and they flush them when they find then stuffed down the side of the couch

    Like the box but for my place if I were to keep it on the coffee table it would need a lock

    No worries Peter. That's a gorgeous box. Love the bookmatching on top. Not sure what you meant by "veneer top framed with solid so I could have a raised panel with the veneer". Care to expand? Also, what's N/C?
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    Very nice indeed. Reminds me of the old cigar boxes.

    Well done.

    Thanks for the comments Guys

    G'day Zenwood . I glued the veneer onto 12mm MDF and then edged that with 14MM wide myrtle with mitred corners then profiled the edging with a raised panel bit . N/C was nitro - cellulose lacquer

    Cheers Peter
