Decorative Box

I’m really impressed with the look of this one! The slight taper really sets those legs off in my opinion. The inlay is an exceptional touch as well. Extremely nice job, sir.

I am doing something similar for my daughter’s jewelry box. Question – how did you attach the legs to the sides? I was going to use 1/4” dowels as my sides are 5/16” thick. The corner legs are slightly larger like yours.

Really nice quality piece of work! I love how you mixed different woods and the dragonfly detail is a very nice personal touch and makes that much more unique. Great job.

Thanks folks.

The sides are attached to the legs using biscuits.

Very nicely done—especially the dragonfly inlay.

Really cool looking box. I like the idea of the extended handle.

Very nice! The bubinga and maple go well together.

Really a stellar job on the beautiful boxes, Wayne…..I know nothing about building boxes, and when I see ones like you’ve built, it’s the sign of a true craftsman….We have several on here like that….I’m just not one of them…....lol. The two woods really comoliment each other, and great job on the inlayed dragonflys…..Mother of pearl and Abalone go together like a horse and buggy…..you just got to have both….Keep up the great work, my friend….I always enjoy your craft…....Thanks for all the Ranger newsletters, too…....

Beautiful boxes Wayne. This really caught my eye because I made a similar box a while back (http://lumberjocks.com/projects/47803). I also used tiger maple. but the other parts were walnut. Your choice of bubinga is wonderful.

As I recall, getting those pin hinges in just the right location was tricky. You obviously did it just right.

Congratulations!
