Hey LJ's,Especially the people who taught me a box is more than a box. Klaus Kiefer, Blacky, Andy, Greg the Cajun Art Box maker, and Big Al! Thanks!
This is the second of two I made recently. See previous post! Klaus' posting was inspirational and breought me back!Box is made from Spaulted maple from my spaulting pile. It's finished with Danish oil using tung oil as an ingredient.Using Big Al's hinge making modified a quality piano hinge.The walnut trim and splines are homegrown and milled.
Due to problems in glue up spent a lot of time cutting and adjusting the felt and faux leather lining.The Maple was leftover from practice pieces for my original Butterfly Box!My sister has been supportive, and she reached one of those milestone birthdays so This box became hers.She really liked it!Hope you do as well!
