Project Information
This is another Keepsake Box for one of the Grandaughters and it will be given as a gift this Christmas.
The box measures 360mm x 250mm x110mm high and is made from Australian Rosewood and finished with Scandavian oil and then waxed.
The lid insert is bookmatched English Elm Burr and all the handles, hinge parts and mitre feathers are made from American Rock Maple. The box and tray are lined with a purple suede pigskin split leather.
The pencil case built into the inner tray has my grandaughters initials inlaid into the hinged lid.
The box features larger inlaid hinges that are flush with the back. This was one of those projects where I lost some interest as I was trying to make the hinges and accents a little bolder than previous boxes I had made but I think the combination of thicker hinge leaves and thicker mitre feathers along with high colour contrast between the Rosewood and the Rock Maple overcooked the effect I thought I was going to get. I would appreciate your comments.
