wdkits1 Posted March 31, 2015 Report Posted March 31, 2015 Hi Everyone Here are a few photos of my newest project. Made from Walnut with Holly accents. The Intarsia Crusader Cross is made from Holly and Ebony surrounded with bookmatched walnut. The interior is lined with blue suede . Measures 15" x 15" x 8". The hardware is Nickel plated.Here is the info sent to me by the client; I am a police officer in NC, and am interested in having a custom valet box made to house / organize all daily carry items. I have drawn the internal layout & attached as two files. Also, I would would like to have a cross inside a shield (as attached) inlayed large/centered on the lid, and my initials inlaid in small letters near the front/bottom right corner of the lid. All the dimensions in my sketches are minimum internal dimensions for the sections, and several of the items have tight tolerances, so the overall size would need to be slightly scaled up to allow for the thickness of the wood. And here are the photos of the finished project. Challenging Project amazingkevin, Scrolling Steve, Fab4 and 3 others 6 Quote

wdkits1 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks for the comments guys. This was a challenging project between installing the quadrant hinges(PIA by the way) and cutting out all of the dadoes for the partitions, but chock it all up to experience gained Quote
courdorygirl Posted March 31, 2015 Report Posted March 31, 2015 That's absolutely gorgeous. How long did it take you to make everything start to finish? Quote
spirithorse Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 Great workmanship, Mike, If I could do work that precise, I still wouldn't be able to sell it at cost around here. Congratulations on your steady stream of orders. Thanks for sharing the pics and God Bless! Spirithorse Quote
