gabon ebony and cocobollo treasure box.most of the work was spent polishing the parts before assembly.Then the nerve racking task of fitting brussos quad hinges so the lid would line up with the base.I made the lid in three pieces because i didnt have a wide enough board for the top.It is held together with splines.The handle is cocobolo with a 3/16 brass rod.

A very nice piece of work.
Very subtle, elegant box. It's interesting how sometimes your limitations (ie. not having a large enough piece of wood for the lid) can lead to a great design element that you would not have otherwise considered.
Congratulations ! All is in the details; the color, the shine, the protruding dovetails, the splined top, the handle, contrasting brass rods. Absolutely great !
My favorite detail: The protruding dovetails. I will definitly try these on a future project.
Thanks for sharing.
Best,
Serge
