Project Information

These are some of the boxes I have built and had around the house; I put them as a collection to show the different colors I've worked with.. The boxes are quite simple but the exotic woods make them interesting. The padauk box has a walnut top with curly maple inlay. The canary box has a bloodwood top. The bubinga box has wenge inlay.

Hey, this is very good inspiration. Thanks a lot for sharing your work. What do you use for finish? Satin poly?

Boxes are fun to build but they require precision joinery and patience, particularly when dealing with inlays, right? This is good work.

Best,

Serge

Thanks for all the nice comments. The shiny finish is polished lacquer and the dull finish is satin water varnish. You can find tips by going to Youtube and plugging "small boxes" into the search box.
