I made this Heirloom Box for my Sister's first child due in May to store special memories in. The size is 400mm x 400mm x 130mm. All timber used in this project was reclaimed and recycled. Tallowood mitred sides with Redgum splines. Inlaid herringbone Spotted Gum and Blackbutt base. Blackbutt rails to support inner boxes allowing for larger storage below. Finger Joint Spotted Gum smaller boxes with an inlaid Camphor Laurel, Blackwood and Douglas Fir chevron. Finger Joint Brushbox central box with an inlaid Ironbark end grain base. Double sunburst Western Red Cedar lid, housed in Tallowood with a Spotted Gum handle. Hand polished with Scandanavian Oil and Cabinet Makers Wax.
