    Default All Cherry

    This box is all made from Cherry. The dimensions are 12"x9"x3.75" tall. The bottom of the inside is divided into six spaces with a removable divider and there are two trays that ride above. It is finished inside and out with a coat of drying oil. The outside of the body and the entire lid are French polished with shelac. The whole box was then buffed with a coat of Canuba wax. Hinges are made by Brusso and are self stopping at 95*. The liner is a synthetic suede and will not tarnish silver.

    This is one fine looking box. The cherry makes it soft looking and really wants to make you pick it up. Great Job!

    ICN,

    I noticed that and was curious about that joint. Also, the raised top appears to have a bevel to it. I wonder how you can do that?

    Beautiful colour of Cherry Gecko. Really nice looking box.

    Thanks for the kind words. I have been really busy with work and all lately hence my bad manners on not commenting on some incredable work I have seen in the last few months. I do seem to have an open day on sunday scheduled for my shop time and if you all can wait till then, I can try to put together a how-to post on the mitered bridle joint.
    sbolton- The miter on the lid was done by running the panel on edge through a router using a 45* champher bit.

    I will look forward to that post about the bridle joint. Thanks for answering the question regarding the bevel.

    You are very accomplished.

    Gecko you did a beautiful job on that box. I believe that's one from David Freedman's book. It's an elegant looking box I think and that mitered bridle joint looks great. You do good work!

    I tried to fine the book you referred to "David Freedman's book" but could not. Do you have a way of finding it, or the title.

    Thanks
