Thread: Box with drawers

I really like that design. It's an excellent centre piece for a display.

The quilted maple is marvellous. May I ask where you obtained it from?

stunning

It's always nice to see some different ideas. Congrats on developing the style, very nice work. What would you think of covering the exposed ply ends (when the box is open) on the quilted maple box with a contrasting timber? The same timber as the ends could be used perhaps?

I like the concept the added base gives lift and sets it off well,not much to say about the material it is stunning so all round nice pieces you must be pleased with the outcome.
Regards Rod.

Absolutely beautiful.

Thanks for the positive comments.
Aldav, Thank you for your comments. My design preference was to try and present the quilted maple piece as one piece. I understand the visual issue with the end grain of ply but I chose to accept that because the box is primarily viewed when closed. I just prefer the continuous look where the joints are hardly visible because the grain is hardly interrupted..

These are really spectacular designs, and I love the timbers you've used and the way you've made them.

Ruddy, Your craftsmanship is world class and rightly recognized thus...beautiful sir, Cheers, Peter

Very interesting design and well executed - they look great Plenty of scope in the designs for a secret compartment or two as well - I'll put that one in the memory bank for later

Someone who had been into marquetry had some excess veneer and the quilted maple was part of that stash. It was a stunning piece of veneer.

Lovely work Ruddy. I have seen a similar design and had made a sketch of it for a future make.

Hi Double d,
Thanks for the comments.
I have a few versions on SketchUp if you want them. They are ideal if you want to fiddle about with different dimensions and see how they look in 3D mode.

Thanks Ruddy, when it comes time i might take you up on the offer.
