    Default Tricky Book Box

    I call this a tricky puzzle book box: looks like a book but is a box. simple eh? The trick is to open the box. No hinges, no keys.

    I made this box over the last couple of days. It is not my design. Not sure what the light timber is that I used for the framing and the spine but is some timber that Arthur (artme) gave me some time ago. Maybe if he sees this he can enlighten us. Its a beautiful timber and great to work with. The bottom insert and lid is also something given to me by Arthur.. Again, Arthur may be able to fill us in on that.
    I do know the "pages" part of the book/box is made from cedar that I had in the shed.

    Its a fun project and can be easily made in a few hours. Comments welcome.
    Reality is no background music.
    Cheers John

    Nice work John

    White wood looks like QLD Beach will await artme's words of wisdom though

    looks an interesting plan

    I like it also, and would like to see it again with a shiny finish.
