Vee is the natural progression from Zee using the Ezee mitre technique.
In this design I use sloped lines at 45° to the vertical/horizontal.
The box is 93×93 x 58 mm in size (6mm thick walls) and is made of Wenge, Lacewood and Ebony.
The finish is wax over sanding sealer. This is my first time with Wenge. It’s a b* to cross-cut. Never again.
The last two pictures shows the board it was made from, the outline and the made up board prior to machining.
Please excuse the variation of quality of the pictures as I could not find my camera lights and had to rely on shop lighting and flash for illumination.
For the construction method follow the blog link on the Zee project page.

How strikingly beautiful, Martyn! All I can say is – wow! Everything about it is just so pleasing. I love how you keep doing things that are so different, yet all so stunning.
It is truly a treat to see!

Martyn,
How do you do it? It’s both enjoyable and educational to watch your designs evolve and morph from one to the next.
Saying this is another fantastic piece doesn’t quite do it justice!
This is another shining link in your chain of projects.

Michelle – you have nothing to fear from me.
David - you have nothing to fear from me. Your box and furniture work shows your natural talents. You’ve taught me a thing or two as well. Anyway its not a race, you know that.
Johnathan – I don’t know. If I did I’d write a book about it and make some serious money.
Thank you all for the feedback, I appreciate it and the time you take to comment.
