    Default Birdseye Blackwood Boxes

    Hi all, I've been a bit quiet on this forum lately. I purchased some Birdseye Blackwood recently and finally got around to using it in a box. The entire box (both of them), is made from Australian Blackwood.

    Let's see how the pics turn out.

    Thumbs up

    Great joinery!!!

    My only negative thought is that the lid border has a mix of different colours. This detracts from the birdseye inset.

    Thanks for your comments. The Blackwood definitely does have a mix of colours. That's just how this timber is I guess. I wanted to keep the entire box in blackwood

    Thanks again, Paul

    Very nice Paul I was going to ask if you had done something to 'age' bits the timber but your last post explains the variations. Gives it a nice 'antique' effect
