First Box

[Trackman]

Made this domed lid box by Sue Mey from issue 46 spring 2012 SWC mag.
Top is made out of hard maple but not sure what the bottom wood is. I got a lot of wood from a person's shop who passed away. Diped in BLO and spray laquer.

Want to try Carole Rothman's apple tart box in the same mag next. This is so much fun!

Sweeeeeet project, super sweeeeet cutting, and for your first box, I'd say you are a natural.
Looking forward to more project pictures from you. Thanks for posting your box.

Looks really nice. Would not believe it was a first box--cutting and finishing are super!

Very nice Trackman....is the lid of the box flat or do I see a curve to it, from middle to the edges?

Excellent box Trackman. Like Kim said, it is addictive.

That is gorgeous. You did an excellent job.

Nice. I always wonder how the designers draw/create those fancy patterns (the lid). It would be fun to design my own designs. I'd have to use a drawing tool, no way freehand!

Great job. Especially like the finish.

[Trackman]

Thank all of you for the nice comments! Yes Hawaiilad the top is rounded from the edge to about half way to the center. The pattern said to cut the frets out an than glue another piece onto it that was not cut. Drawed a pencil line around the out side and sanded down to the line.
Comments from all of you that do such great work means a lot to me.
