Klaus, that is a beautiful piece of figured Sapele. I can see what triggered you into making it a box. I’m surprised you cut off the veneer and re laminated it to the birch ply. Was it too unstable for the panel edges?

Thanks Draeger
I appreciate You comment

Thanks Nick
Yes it was an inspiration .

Thanks John
Always nice to hear your comment .

I don’t like to remove the finish so I glued the finished side to the plywood and sanded the sawn side smooth besides the finish on flooring is a very poor looking finish and not suitable for a box finish .

Kiefer,

It’s definitely a Klaus Kiefer design. This is a guy box. I can see you putting your calipers and micrometers in this. I like the color and pattern match. Tone on tone. I’ll never catch up cause you keep raising the bar for the rest of us.

Beautiful box, Klaus…..the sapele is spectacular and plays well against the walnut. The soft yellow velvet is a nice touch, as well. You did justice to the beauty of the wood.

Thanks Thomas
Yes I agree it is a guy’ box but not that difficult to build just the corners which are a compound angle .
It’s the beautiful grain that got me inspired and working with the size of the material was a challenge , one wrong cut and Murphy would have had it his way .

Well done Klaus! I Love the drawers. Nice job reusing the veneer on the flooring!

I guess I should of known. I have hundreds of pieces of solid bamboo flooring. Trying to remove the urethane finish is a hassle. So I put the top finished side in the inside of projects like you and plane and sand the bottom for a new finish on the outside.

I agree it’s the beautiful grain and colour that makes this box and I tried to do it justice .

Thanks Tony
There is a lot of left over flooring to be had at a very reasonable cost and many pieces with beautiful grain and color .The drawers turned out well and are a very simple design without a double front and slide and fit extremely well .

Klaus,

Murphy’s down here helping me with my box. LOL! I’ve screwed it up and fixed the screw up every step of the way! How big is your bandsaw?

Never sand the finish of I have been told by a flooring expert as it contains aluminum oxide which is a real health hazard .
