my first 2 boxes
My wifes 40th prompted me to put aside several project guitars and turn to the boxes.
Here they are. Huon & QLD Red Cedar. Paua shell inlay. Barrel hinges 5mm epoxy glued. Royal Blue Flocking and Paint. Joints are mitre key and box making bit (CMT). Finish is Tru-Oil 20 coats. The buttoms are just glued (no joint).
Constructive criticism/comments encouraged.

The shell inlay is very striking! Love the contrasting colours in the timber. Mitre keys have to be my favourite box join I reckon.

Hi Bjsa,
What they all said. Top job. Also like the shell inlay.
And the old Triton table is quite capable.
Cheers
Pops
