Pommele Sapele and Red Bean Box

**bruceh** · 22nd March 2010, 05:06 PM

Just finished this box which is from one of the Box Making Kits we are now supplying ,the same style as the Tamo Ash box from last week . The top and bottom veneered panels are rebated ino the sides to deal with the ply edges and add a bit of strength . The banding is a bit of Silver Ash to lighten the box and flocked with Royal Blue flocking which is a very easy way to line a box and looks great. The finish is Scandinavian Oil sanded between coats and cut back before being buffed.

Cheers Bruce

Nice boxes: simple, classic and elegant design. Can't fault that!

Top rate in every way. The silver ash contrast is a winner.

Hi Jack ,
I haven't put the Red Bean and Sapele kits on the web just yet , I will do it tomorrow arvo. The kits consist of of 2 sides about 300mm. x 75 x 12mm. and 2 sides 150 x 75 12 mm. sanded to 120 grit . The bottom is veneered Red Cedar on 6mm. ply while the top is the same dimensions with Pommele Sapele and the price for these packs is $49.95 .I do play with the grain direction on the top panel , some go from side to side and some from front to back , thats the good thing with working with veneers it allows for a bit more creative freedom.
Cheers Bruce
