    Default Ingot box

    So called because the shape resembles a gold ingot, and Aussie cedar used to be called red gold.

    Just a quick box from Aussie cedar, with silver ash handle & slipfeathers.

    Nice work.

    How do you get the nice mitres on the angled faces?

    Another great effort Alex. Love the handle and lid grain pattern.

    Alex, that's is a very nice box. When I grow up, I want to be like you.


    I also have a few boards of Red Cedar with similar patterns. I am waiting for a good project so I can use them.

    Great looking box, particularly like the way you contrasted the straight lines of the box with the beautiful curves of the handle.

    Very well done.
