This is a watchbox for my youngest son for his 25th birthday.Its really made from some scraps I had . Idigbo makes up the front and back with Walnut for the sides. The Walnut grain flows from top to bottom so it matches the grain on the lid. The lid is a 9mm MDF panel set in a rebate in the Idigbo. The joint is inlayed with box wood and this boxwood inlay is also repeated in the middle of the top panel.There are three watch boxes inside holding two watches each. These are made from 6mm birch ply for the sides and front and back. This was veneered on both sides before I used a router with a top bearing and a template in 6mm MDF to cut all the sides to the same pattern. Corners of these were then all mitred and glued with a 3mm ply veneered panel set in a rabbet for the base. A brass handle was set into two holes drilled in the side panels. The base was lined with pig suede.The compartment below the watch boxes is lined with a Sapele panel split into two sections.The end “extra” box is MDF i veneered , top is solid Iroko and drawers are solid walnut with a piston fit.Box is lined in suede and the hinges were from the Smarthinge range from Andrew Crawford. They are so easy to fit and great quality. Watch pillows are a tan faux leather.Finish is Shellac and buffed with microcrystaline was .Overall dimensions are 350250135mm
