    Default Medal box

    I've made a number of boxes for this collector of militaria. This one is made from rose mahogany, with WRC insert to support the card with medals.

    Beautiful as always Alex.

    Have you ever thought to do some research for him on upcoming auctions or sales? Keep the box orders coming in and all that....

    Heh heh "I have some stunning timber that would go with these".

    I think he does quite enough research of his own, FF. I've done quite a few boxes for him, plus a wall unit and he's talking about a duelling pistol box later.

    Well done Alex, these style of box look really nice. I like the proportions.

    Can you tell us a bit about the lid please? Solid or veneered? Looks like there is some edge joining too

    The hinges are a pretty tight fit for that box side thickness, nice work getting away with that !
    regards,

    Dengy
