Boxes
These boxes are created by ripping 4/4 or 6/4 stock to one half thickness. The 2 panels are then cut with mitred corners to make a box that has the illusion of grain that wraps contiunously around it.
Recipe / Jewelry Box This was made as a gift. It is sized to hold 3x5 recipe cards. Alternatively, it could be used as a jewelry box. The top and bottom are cherry. The sides are birds-eye maple. The bottom molding is Ipe. The sides are resawn and then flipped and mitered. This provides a perfect greain "wrap" that is continuous all the way around the box. The finish is Tried and True Varnish oil and dewaxed blonde shellac. September '02
