Curly maple and purple heart jewelry box with marquetry work
Hi, all,
This is my first box this year. I used hard curly maple plus purple heart as the miter key.
Size: 8"x6"x2.5"
Material: Curly maple, purple heart, veneer, lacewood (for the tray inside the box)
Labor cost: more than 30 hours of hard work
Finish: Mineral oil and a very thin coat of varnish, sanded with 1500 grit paper
The marquetry is from F.H.Varley's (Group of Seven) original painting Stormy Weather
Here are the pictures, the last one is my box family, everything I made in the last 3 years:
