Bubinga Box
May 31, 2010
I saw this design in an article written by Gary Rogowski in the Nov/Dec. 1999 issue of FWW. My version includes different dimensions, ebony pegs at the corner lap joints and bubinga for the main wood. The bottom is maple to give a light effect when the box is opened. The finish is shellac on the inside, shellac washcoat on the outside followed with Waterlox over that. The box is a joy to make because of all the handplaning involved to shape the sides and top. It is an excellent way to develop hand tool skills.

Very nice design! The half-lap corners and ebony pegs set off the form. I have been making boxes for a few years and find that there is so much room for expression and experimentation. Check my website at http://www.johnschutz.com
