Ribbon Box

By qcwood, member Jan 20, 2011

This box is 7 by 7 by 4 high and is made of Canarywood. The ribbons and bows are made of Wenge, Purpleheart and Satinwood. The dots are all approx. 3/16 in thick and are made of purpleheart, box elder, satinwood, palea, padauk and chakte coc. The piece took approx 18 to 20 hours to execute. Corners are keyed. Ribbons are set in mortises (dados). Grain of the woods for the ribbons runs alternate for strength. Finish is natural of course.

Very cool. Love the dots and the recessed lid. Did you steam and bend the ribbons? I'm guessing no.
All that work in 18 - 20 hrs? I need to work faster.

Ribbons made with scroll saw, sanding finely and using templates

Great design. This is the type of gift where the box eclipses the gift!

What could you possibly put inside this box that wouldn't pale in comparison to the box itself? From design to finished form, a master's product for sure.
