Small Maple Box

Nice job. I like the light effect.
I’ve been trying to get inspired to get back into the shop and do some meaningful work (as opposed to busy work on my to do list). You may have provided me with just the push I needed. Lots of wood. Lots of time. Just needed inspiration.

-- Whatever

Very nice little box. I also enjoy the challenge of small boxes.

That looks great Charlie. It’s amazing how changing scale from larger pieces to smaller ones requires adjusting your techniques and skills to match. The banding/inlay looks really cool, did you make that for this project?

Thanks!

Douglas, I stumbled onto an eBay find of a bunch of very old inlay a few years ago, and I’ve been using it a little at a time ever since. I wrote about it here.
