Tissue box with Lacewood
I purchased a board of London Plane last week and started on a box in addition to the block box also underway.
London Plane : General Woodworking - UKworkshop.co.uk
The board of LP was 12" wide and rough sawn 60mm thick in spots. So I have decided to cut my carcass boards down the thickness which then should produce almost quartersawn timber and I believe known as Lacewood.
The picture below shows a 12mm thick strip but is only 52mm wide. (and this means I cannot get the full depth my tissue boxes need.)

The second photograph I have added a contrast strip top and bottom of American Black Walnut to make up depth required.

Interesting, John. I'd never heard of London Plane until just now, so I did a quick lookup. Lacewood for 1/4 sawn is a local term in the UK.
Here, Lacewood is Northern Silky Oak, and in the US it's from the American Sycamore.
I just learned something new.
Looking forward to watching the boxes progress.... Steve

The boards for making the box have been prepared, the two bottom items of photograph.

The carcass has been constructed but with an error, I messed up the grain placements, see corner, I was tempted to cut at corners and turn the joints to external mitres but recalled my grandmother telling me in the past that a blind man would be pleased to see it. So, with warts.

The carcass has cleaned up quite well, this has just been hand sanded with 120 grit sandpaper and it does not play up.

The crosses display a rebate top and bottom of that end piece and is the reason sthe piece got inverted when assembling, there should have been only one rebate and I followed the incorrect line at the time.woody U.K.
