Thread: Spotted Gum Box Learning Experience

This a box I made out of some spotted gum offcut decking boards from Bunnies.

The boards were cupped slightly, although I tried to flatten them as best I could, they weren't perfect and hence the mitres weren't 100%, but having said that they came out ok.

I bookmatched the top with an interesting piece of grain and then decided to round over the top of the box and I think this came out ok.

Unfortunately I used pine for the splines, because it was all I had at the time, some of them chipped or cracked when inserting them... learning experience there.

I lined the inside of the box with felt... I am happy with the result but not over the moon, I will try something different on next box. I also used camphor on the inside of the box and I like it but probably should have found something to contrast.

Over all pretty happy with how it turned out.
