Project Information

This box is made from yellow cedar that was given to me by the wife of my friend SEVERIN who passed away .
I have never worked with yellow cedar and was no sure what to make from it so this is the result .
I enjoyed making this as a tribute to my friend who loved carving and this one of many pieces he had collected .
I hope I did a good enough design and he can see it from where he is in heaven.
I used the same 7 DEG. jig as on my previous boxes for the body and made the kerf bent lid from a dis colored piece and stained it to go with the walnut trim .The tray is made from walnut scraps also and the liners upholstery cloth on poster board sewn by my wife . The size is 12 1/2" W x 6" D x 5 1/2" H .

Hope you like it and comments always welcome .

Very nice box and I bet your shop smells great. Yellow Cedar is a very important boat building wood on the west coast and one of my favourites.
Using Yellow Cedar in a tribute to a carver is very fitting as it is also a wonderful wood to carve.

Great work and a fitting tribute.

Another beauty, Klaus. I really like the art-deco vibe with all the architectural elements you have worked in to this design. There is a lot to take in and appreciate in this one. A beautiful tribute to your friend.

The yellow cedar compliments your design well. More than a tribute I would say. Your friend would of been proud of it. I must say you have a way of adding extra detail that makes your boxes stand out from others.
