Five Trunks

Realy beautiful, ingenious!!

very nice. Christmas presents?

Very nice craftsmanship. The contrasting wood is beautiful.

Now that's a beautiful set of boxes! The inlay is stunning!

Genius with the rivets. I like the design a lot.

I like everything about this. Love the banding, and the brass knob. I may use the banding on a future box build. Thanks for the post MrLaughingBrook!

Beautiful trunks. Liked the project description.

Beautiful work. Your wood stash is what many dream of, and you use it so well.

Brilliant metal work as well.

You didn't say, what is their size? Titled as trunks, but compared to the tools around them appear to be more small box sized?

Drop dead gorgeous!

Stunning work! Thanks for sharing!

Damn!! Now you're just showing off!!!

Incredible craftsmanship and beautiful overall. Definitely adding to my favorites. Great job.

freakin gorgeous work.so what is the size of these 5 little darlings ?

They are great MrL... I inheritted a swag of veneers (offcuts) but never knew where I could use them… Your posts are inspirational…

However, before thousands of other members ask… why 5?

Beautiful! What finish did you use?

Thanks for the kind comments.

- Size is 6×4 x 2.5 H inches, maybe I should not call them trunks but that's what they look like to me.
- Shellac and Renaissance Wax
- Five of them because the sixth was sacrificed at the router table . Initially six because that's how many small scrap pieces I had saved from my prior nightstand project.
- Christmas presents? Maybe. I'm building a box inventory in hopes that next year we'll have art shows again and I'll have something to show.

So beautiful ,but so many

re: so many? I like to sell a set. Perfect for groomsman gifts or staff or crew or family holiday gift box. They seem to be worth more as a set than as a sum of the singles.

Beautiful craftsmanship and a great finish. Little Black Duck said it an inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

I am humbled at your craftsmanship…
