Thread: Boxmakers - Help requested

Hi all,
It's been quite a while since I have posted. The cedar workshop is finally finished . Recently I gave my grandson (10 months) a handcarved wooden box, made by my father in the 30s. It is about 9" square and about 4" high, to this I added a good part of my coin accumulation. Hopefull young Max will have fun sifting through it as he gets older.
I have another grandchild due later this year and I decided to build a decorative wooden box myself using some varieties of Australian timber. I actually purchased 4 pieces of Bookmatched timber - 369mm * 80mm * 13mm of fiddleback Spotted Gum as a starter.

Sadly just last week I received some shocking news on the health front which means that it is very unlikely that I will be able to complete/start this project.

Can any of you boxmakers assist? Would someone be able to make a box, using the wood above, or otherwise, its not important or would someone have a box of a similar size that could be for sale.

Ideally whether the wood can be used or not I would like to send it to whoever is able to help either as part payment or to be used.

I would of course pay cost of the box, all postage etc involved.

If you can help please pm me.

Over to you, kind regards

Peter
