Bloodwood Box

You bet Charlie it’s fun to make something from wood that’s around the shop just to make something out of it and stay in the swing of things .
Nice little box it turned out to be for someone .
Yes I think for the most part everyone is well but summer keeps a lot of guys busy with other things .

Stay well !

love the flow of the grain like a wave rising upwards. the color combination really works well on this one adding nice accents which brings up that grain flow.

That is a winner Charlie. I really like this box, glad to see that you still have the touch.

Hey Charlie, Lookin good…! I would imagine that making this box will give you the “Get back in the Shop” bug.

Very nice detail and finish.
Elegant simplicity. Love it.

Nice to see a post from you.
Neat box. I guess you still got it in you.

Good job,

Thanks everybody!

In case anyone was wondering, I made the lid by laminating a piece of Bloodwood to a piece of Canarywood, then routed the profile to expose more of the Canarywood.
