My camera has finally returned from hospital, so here are some boxes that I made.

Hi Robyn,
Lovely boxes, especially the inlays. It was worth the wait for your camera to come back
How did you finish the inside of the boxes?
cheers

Robyn,
According to the number of posts, you are "novice". BUT the quality of the veneering and the boxes asserts, rather than merely suggests, otherwise.
I think everyone is glad you have come out of the woodwork, so to speak. Hubby is probably intimidated by the value-added elements you provide from shed use, so is happy to be confined to a corner.
Keep posting the pics, inside shots and close-ups, please. Very uplifting.CJ

Thank you all for your kind words.
The insides of the boxes are nothing fancy, just sanded and finished like the outside. I'll post some pics when I get a moment. I must say that I had a lot of help with these. I made the small jarrah box at a course, so some of the work was done for us, and there was plenty of help and supervision along the way - as well as access to machines which I don't have at home. I was my first decorative piece after I made the workbench. The backgammon table was also made during the course.
The small Tas oak box I made myself at home, copying the jarrah one and mostly using hand tools. I had a router by then, but I had to do the mitres for the lid and the dovetails by hand. I'll have to make a new lid for it because the veneer has split and lifted in a couple of places.
The larger document box was a club project. We had a veneering day where we made the lids, and then a box day to make the boxes. Again, there was plenty of help and access to machines. The wood show here in Perth was two weeks after that, so our club stand was full of decorative veneered document boxes.Robyn

Hi Robyn,
I like those boxes, you are progressing very well indeed, I used to teach hobby woodwork classes in the tech system a few years ago, mainly men, but did have three women in the class as well and some of the work they were capable of producing was excellent, to say the least.
Keep up the good work,
Cheers,
Ron.

Thank you. I'm really enjoying my woodwork, but don't get as much shed time as I'd like. This is a great forum and I'm learning heaps.
