    Default Cutlery Box, Carver

    We had a cutlery set given to us for xmas, and the other half thought a nice wooden box instead of the cardboard one would look nicer.

    This is the result, it is made from some old tassie oak boards (i think) l had in the shed. I am still looking for some thin foam to line the lid with.

    I think the cardboard box would have been a better option Tim

    Only kiddin mate, it looks very nice. What about a nice green or red felt lining for the inside rateher than foam?
    Did the joints work out correct first time,,,be honest now.

    The type of foam as used for mouse mats is good for lining boxes. It cuts to a nice clean edge and is durable without being too thick.

    They sell it or something very similar in camping stores, as sleeping mats, it mostly come in bright colors though.

    Nice work.
    what's on the inside holding the cutlery up. Did you make an insert and if so, how do you get all the slots even :confused:
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.
