LGS 15th February 2012, 02:02 PM Hi all,
This is a jewellery box I made from Jarrah and Queensland Maple. I have to say that the pics really don't do the Maple justice.
It is 300 x 250 x x110mm and is finished with Wattyl Scandinavian oil, friction sealed to 4000g, then, after 3 days of drying, cut with EEE cream and finally coated with UBeaut Traditional Wax.
Regards,
Rob
Crunchie 15th February 2012, 04:47 PM It looks great. LGS. The pics came up well, so it must really look good to the naked eye. Is this a gift for someone? I must say that Jewellery boxes for the wife are a bit like the shed - they are never big enough.
LGS 15th February 2012, 05:13 PM Hi Crunchie,
It was a commission.

Very nice box and enjoyed the WIP. Good info me , I've only done bandsaw boxes but I have a lot of timber for 'regular' boxes waiting for me.

I live the Queensland Maple, I made a very similair box for a 30th birthday present out of the same combination and you are correct it came up a treat!
Not a critisism just an observation (cause it is what it is! a lovley box! ) why didn't you mitre the corners for the lid? Did the customer request that or just your poetic license?
Great job! :2tsup:
LGS 10th April 2012, 05:50 PM Just poetic licence. Could have gone the Mitre option, but it would have added cost. More work involved...:)
Thanks for the kind comments.
