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.

The never ending dilemma. I only get two magazines SSWWC and Wood carving Illustrated. Even if I don't make something in every issue there is usually something in each one that I have never tried and that will either challenge or inspire me.

I understand supporting the magazine and agree. I just do not find many projects that fit my desires.

I would like to see them do a poll with subscribers to find out what type projects people want to see....

First off how thick is the board you cut?
When I want something to stand out I use backer-boards 1/8 thick to get the depth.
that means you would have to cut the big cutting into pieces to put the spacer behind.
for instance the cloud bottom right which his hand is on I would put maybe...
