Project Information
Sycamore and Purpleheart keepsake box, with Gabon Ebony, Rosewood accents.
Box dimensions: 12cm square X 8cm high.
Lined with goatskin suede.
Finish: spray laquer satin, light beeswax buff.
There is a master boxmaker in the U.K. by the name of Ian Hawthorne, he designed the "Neat" range of box hardware, which I cannot afford, and which gives Brusso a serious competition. Some of you may know Ian´s story. Anyway, he believes the ideal angle for an open box lid is 105º, so when applicable to a particular design, I use a stop block to limit the lid to this 105º ideal. As is the case with this box, seen in the last photo.
Another huge shoutout to Dick Byrd, as he is the source for the Sycamore and Purpleheart.
Thanks for viewing.
Have a great day!
