Curly jarrah and marri

320 (L) x 220 (W) x 130mm (H)

I think the reason this box stands out from others is the handmade jarrah hinges. These took quite some time to construct but the end result was pleasing. I also carefully chose contrasting timbers which make this box look amazing. In the inside I made three moveable dovetailed shelves which also have room underneath for storage. The main box (marri) used a mitre join and the top and bottom of the box is routed (using the panel saw) and glued in for strength. I finished the box of with a fine sand and coated it with multiple coats of oil.
