    Default A Couple of Boxes

    Hey all.

    These boxes were made over the weekend.

    This one is an earing box for my parters mum, who lives in the UK. Dimensions are 150 x 70 x 45. I wanted the timber to be from WA so I used Marri and She Oak. Gifkins for the DT's and basic design. Finish is EEE and 2 coats of Trad wax.

    There are plenty of flaws, but its not too bad if ya don't look to closely.:eek:

    This one is for my parter. Dimensions are 300 x 160 x 50. This time used what I think is English oak (but not sure, please correct me if I'm wrong:confused: ) and the lid and dividers are again She Oak. Basic design and DT's courtesy of Roger G again. Finish was a coat of sanding sealer, 800 grit finishing sand, EEE and 2 coats of Trad wax.

    I'm happy with the results, so is 'er indoors.

    Very nice, they will love them! The grain in the she-oak has come up really well, good work.

    This bit should be completely ignored, although I know that despite this warning, you will read it through to the very end.

    I agree with the other comments, good work for a Crow.

    There are some nice designs in the Gifkins book. Looks like you're a disciple too.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Nice work, Gazaly. I especially like the second box. Simple but elegant.

    Lovely boxes Gazaly! Isn't it so nice to use a tool that cuts down the time to make each box and makes each box more beautiful.

    Cheers

    Very nice boxes Gaz. I like the dark piece going from corner to corner in the 1st pic. The 2nd box is a nice design & looks very elegant.
