an image of one of my boxes: bird's eye Huon Pine with figured Blackwood lid
Hi guys,
here is a box I made a while ago. Bird's eye Huon Pine frame with figured Blackwood lid, Blackwood corner splines, and inside there is red leather over 6 mm foam fitted to the floor. 250 mm square, by 90 mm deep
cheers, George Harris Hobart

Two of my favourite timbers. Nice box.

Nice box George. I am a big fan of the birdseye huon.

Lovely result. The birds eye Huon looks great George.
I look forward to seeing inside the box and how you have done the hinge.

I don't know what sort of leather it is, but I buy it from a local leather shop, and I buy for colour, suppleness, fine texture, etc.
I glue the foam to the floor with spray adhesive, and then also the leather to the foam. That makes it easy to trim, and nothing moves as you fit it together.
I assemble and sand the box with the lid attached, and cut it off later on the band saw, but I guess you guys do the same. Cheers, George
