Gift Box

10-18-2011, 09:14 AM

My Cousin just got married and My parents are giving them an antique sugar and creamer set but they wanted me to make a box for them to live in so I made this.

Made from Black Walnut,Wavy Maple and Aromatic Cedar. The box is 5 x 7 x 11. The Dual Heart is inlayed.

Really lovely, DW. The box would be a gift even without the sugar and creamer set! And Jim would be proud of your inlays.

Nice box DW.

Beautiful inlay. Is the script inlayed too, or is it cut in fret? are the finger joints cut on a scroll saw.

He puts biscuts between the long pieces, is that what you meant? He has stainless screws in the lips then puts the plugs on top of that. Scott, cutting one doesn’t take long.
