“Deco”
I designed this panel style box to express some of the Art Deco style.I wanted to make a box that was formal in design then shape it free form, a contradiction.

Really beautiful box. I love the contrasting woods and the organic feel. Would you mind sharing the wood species and the finish you used?
Senomozi,Thanks for the kind words!
This box has a Wenge body and Maple medallion inset into the lid,with Bloodwood accents.I prefer to use Deft spray lacquer for boxes,satin sheen,many coats as needed,sanded between each.(I dont use a spray booth,in fact I use the aerosol cans and set them within 5 ft of sawdust on my bench.Dust is not attracted to it like poly or oils.)
If you would like more info on how I build some of my boxes,then follow this link to LumberJocks and read my tutorial.Its very thorough and has many detailed photos.
