Thread: A box to house a Watch Collection

Very nice, I presume it is a commission piece?

Hi Arry,

Yes it is a commission, but I make things with this level of finish for home as well.

Regards,

Rob

Nice work and beautiful grain!!

Is the client a crab?

Very nice Rob , where's the rest of the fiddleback b/wood you bought?

Didn't get lost in the moment did you and buy too much?

As always Rob, a stunning result. You have made the most of that beautiful grain.

Very nice piece of work, I especially like the nice tight mitres and the fine partitions.

Very nice box. Do have one question, is there going to be a dust cover between the box lid and the watch faces?

Hi Christos,
Not that I am aware of or was asked to include. I guess it's something he needs to think about.

Regards

Rob

Very nice Rob.

Can I please ask what something like this would sell for?

I'm hoping to take some of my boxes to market one weekend but I have never sold any of my stuff and I have no idea what they may be worth.

The top consists of a figured Jarrah panel surrounded by a Fiddle back Tasmanian Blackwood border. The hinges are square Quadrant hinges from Anton Gerner Furniture. The finish is friction sealed Wattyl Scandinavian oil coated with UBeaut Traditional Wax. The combination of high grit sanding (4000g) and wax gives brilliance to the timbers and clarity to the grain.
