Box #3

This box is made with Lacewood and the sliding top is made with pine with Lacewood end. Top surface has mahogany veneer on it. Box is finished with oil followed by wax.

Box #2

This one was a lot more difficult technically. I derived inspiration for this box from a design I saw in a book. Sides and the tab on the front are made from birds eye maple and slanted on the outer surface. Rest of the box is made with Lacewood, a beautifully figured wood from Australia. Since birds eye maple is a lot denser than Lacewood, sanding this box was quite a challenge. It is finished with oil followed by wax.

Box #1

This is a box I made using mahogany and basswood. The top is glued edge to edge. The small inlay at the center is made by gluing square dowels together and then cutting a thin slice across. Sides are made of the same square dowels of these two woods glued together. The box was finished with Tung oil followed by a think coat of wax.
More boxes to come.
