    Default Blackwood, River Red Gum, wooden hinge, document box

    Hi all,
    Here is a new box given to one of dad's golfing mates for his 78th B'day today.

    Tassie blackwood, purchased green 2 years ago, with a River Red Gum insert lid. The lid framing was a result of my precut timber planned for a square box and Dad wanting a rectangular box hence not enough timber for a mitred lid.

    Finished with white shellac, EEE and Natural Wax.

    regards
    Billy

    Love the feet, handle and hinges - great accents and not least, overall a very beautiful box.

    Box looks great. Nice present. Love the work on the hinges.

    Very nice looking box! I love the hinges.
    When all is said and done, there is usually a whole lot more said than done.
