Trying something different after the display box in my last post, I made a general purpose trinket box.
The majority of the box is made from Sepile wood, which has a deep red colour. The stripes on the lid are alternating Sepile and Beech. These strips are glued onto a backing of simple Birch plywood, just to provide some rigidity. The base is from the same plywood. After sanding and assembly I polished the box with several coats of beeswax, giving a smooth, glossy shine. The inside base is covered with felt and there are small magnets inserted in the front corners of the base and lid to help keep the lid closed securely.
Overall dimensions are:
Length 225 mm (8.86")
Width 135 mm (5.31")
Height 75 mm (2.95")
Enjoy the photos.
