Greene & Greene Inspired Box

By Ruffnek, member Dec 07, 2009

I’ve recently been making boxes and decided I wanted to do one that incorporated Greene & Greene elements. The primary wood used is Mesquite with Ebony hinges and accents. the box bottom is Aromatic Cedar.

wow! The hinges are a perfect addition to the box, love the exposed joinery, all really nice. Are the ebony accents decorative or did you hammer those square pegs into a round hole?

Thanks for the comments.

The Ebony plugs actually hide screws that are used in conjunction with glue for the box joints. I marked the locations for the plugs, used my benchtop mortiser with a 5/16" square chisel and bit to cut a shallow mortise and then drilled a counter-sunk thru hole for the screws.
