Box with inlay and rounded sides

[Jim Finn]

.

     I saw a video on line showing how to make this box with rounded sides and lineal inlay all around the four sides of the box. Mine is a little different than the one in the video but that video gave me the idea for this project.

     This box measures 6"x8"x2" deep. I put a Magnolia blossom inlay in the hinged lid but a plain top would also look nice.

      The lineal inlay all around the rounded sides is 1/16" poplar. The box is made of eastern red cedar and is flocked on the inside. The magnolia blossom inlay includes Poplar (leaves) Maple and Bois'darc. I used a wipe on poly for the finish.

      Lots of extra steps in making this. Fun to make, but I am not sure it is worth the effort as an item to sell.

Awesome Jim. Like the style and the beautiful inlaid flower. The stringing is very effective and the finish is beautiful. Very well done.

A beautiful box to be proud of Jim. A lot of extra work too I would think, but superb nevertheless. Thanks for showing it to us.

Sold them both today.  I priced them at 25% more than my other boxes.  Just may pay to make more this winter.
