    Default Reclaimed Huon, Burl Musk and Tiger Myrtle.

    This is a box I finished today. The Huon Pine is reclaimed from some very old window sills and the Tiger Myrtle and Burl Musk is stuff I salvaged and milled.

    That sir is one beautiful box, the colour and figure of the timber is magnificent; and all reclaimed....First Class effort....
    I think that old timber is one of the best sources of stock for whatever one is making BUT you've made it just great....well done...
    Cheers, crowie

    What a lovely box! It's a great design, with nice timbers and great care taken matching the grain. One of the nicest I've ever seen!

    Superb.
    Really one of the best I've seen.
    Simple and elegant.
    And when I say simple I mean that it appears that way but I can see the high level skill to make it look that way.
    Your design lets the wood show off, then on a closer look its quality is evident.
    I aspire to this standard and this is some inspiration.
    Thanks for showing us.

    Cheers
