Project Information
Inspired to try this after seeing Dustin Penner (Starry night box)
his is much more detailed but I thought the brass inlay was a neat feature. Where his was little more brass I used three sizes of brass rods and used CA to bond them in the top panel. Once I had started I noticed the circular pattern of the grain and decided to try for moon also on top. The white epoxy is just white tint but I put in some crushed opal dust color fragments in so when the light hits just right you see little color.
Box overall is 7.5" tall , 6" deep and about 10" in length. The lid has mohagoney, Padauk and walnut main panel the rest of the box has walnut for base and some red wood sides ( given to me from a friend unsure).
The small inside tray is Bocote wood with handles for pull out to reach the bottom storage area.
Finished with seal a cell and some wax, first time with some new techniques.
