Here is the latest in my series of forthcoming articles for Furniture and Cabinetmaking magazine.
With its compound angles dovetails and curved tapering lid it took a lot longer to make than the first two boxes, but I'm pleased with the result.
It has very discreet pivot hinge lid which, although nice and cheap, has to be installed very accurately to work well and look good. This is even more challenging in angled sides!
I really like this scallop for opening the lid, delicate and unobtrusive as well as easy to create using a rasp followed by sandpaper wrapped around a Sharpie.
That's really nice work David, I'm gonna have to catch up with you soon to pick your brains over the one. The finished box is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon, yes this one keeps you alert from start to finish! All the best, David.
