Cornerstone

By Maveric777, member Nov 18, 2011

This is a simple box I built a while back as a gift for a family member. The original idea was to make this into a locking pistol box. After carving the curly maple “Stones” in the top I decided to allow the box be what it is….. A simple keepsake.

The constriction is walnut with miter splines made of walnut as well for added strength and appearance. Interior is curly maple with leather lining the bottom. Figured I have been around here on FWW long enough without posting something I have done…lol

Thanks for checking it out.

I got started doing my first REAL work on boxes so I truely love them, appreciate them and make them for customers to this day. (got a loooong way to go to) This one really stands out! It invites you to feel it and stare at it. The wood combination is pleasent yet exciting! Enjoyed looking.

Hey Mav, that box is sweet. I like the sloped mitred top and how you rolled the inside maple over so it looks pillowed. Nice work!
