Tassie Blackwood Document Box Hello all,
My latest document box with wooden hinges for my neice's boyfriend's 30th.
Not much variation on previous themes however used a solid one piece lid instead of a picture frame lid.
Tassie Blackwood and Spalted Myrtle lid.
335mm x 225mm x 115mm, the box includes a lift out tray and wooden hinges with brass pins.
I was fairly happy with the end result and made in just 2 Sunday sessions!
regards

Hi Steve,
Yes the lining is leather, the last of my scraps from an upholsterer.
I need to buy a couple of pig skins before my next projects.

Yes the lid is floating. Previously I have done a 'picture frame' surround around the feature lid piece and floated it, but this is direct.
