    Default Deed or Document box

    Made this box last year and was sold to an elderly lady who wanted it for a 21st birthday present for a nephew. About 7 or 8 days ago she rang me if I had another one, no, so a rush job for another birthday present. Was picked up yesterday , was so pleased with it she ordered 9 more for all her nephews who will turn 21 in the next 8 or 9 years. My choice of timbers and veneers
    I have about 8 months before the next birthday , but she will take the 9 boxes then and keep them until they are needed. regards NF.

    Nice simple design. You've let the timber do the talking. Good order, too.

    Internal dimensions, 20mm larger than an A4 sheet x about 95 deep inside.

    Awesome looking pattern you got with the myrtle John.
    Forward thinking on your clients part - hope she's around long enough to hand them all out - - - or maybe she was concerned the maker wouldn't be around to supply them to the last - you'll just have to prove her wrong eh!!

    Hi Vern, I hope to hang around for a few more years. The client intends to wrap each box up with the nephews name on it , just in case she's not around to hand it on.
    Been chasing tiger myrtle veneer in the right colour , good stuff is hard to come by, of all places Rivergum Timbers in QLD is sending me down 4 sheets from the same flitch. Sight unseen , so I hope its got a good figure.
    cheers John. (PS, Its b------y cold down here)
