Made from European walnut, inside walls painted with milk paint, bottom covered with handmade marbled paper. Lid textured using a gouge and then painted, first with red milk paint and subsequently with turquoise milk paint, followed by light sanding to reveal the first layer. Pull made from afrormosia, dividers from elm.

good looking box – seems a shame to paint good wood but this works well, it all has an “I want to have that appearance”

Beautiful job, I really like the sanding of the turquise to reveal the red pain underneath.
