    Default Tassie Blackwood and Birdseye Huon Pine (bookmatched) storage box

    This box is 600mm long x 300mm wide and 200mm high. There are two removable trays made from some old Blackwood showing beautiful fiddle back feature. The box itself is made from some of the nicest figured Blackwood I've seen for a while. The lid is my last piece of some Birdseye Huon Pine, bookmatched and finished with oil. As is the rest of the box. It is a gift for my wife, just to show I care.


    Regards,

    Rob

    What did you do? That's some serious sucking up Rod

    Oh, if she doesn't like it I'm sure you'd have no trouble finding a taker

    Cheers, Ian

    VERY NICE!

    Like most good woodworkers what you have done is to show the natural beauty of the wood to its max. The beauty is mostly in the wood (to me anyway) not design although finish matters. The skill is in showing off natural wood figure and beauty to its max. Well done. Love it.

    That is stunning. As you said, some exceptional Blackwood and you have created a very handsome box. Superb.
    And my head I'd be a scratchin'
    While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
    If I only had a brain.
