Flame Rosewood box
Small box made using flame rosewood for the lid panel. It's very striking, with lots of different reds in there.
Mitred corners, with splines. Finished with Minwax WOP, then with Ubeaut wax.
Hinges are SmartHinges, from Andrew Crawford.
This is a gift for a friend who is getting married soon.
Comments and questions welcome.
cheers,
ajw

Very nicely done, with the contrasting lid a good choice. What timber is the box ?
Liked the brownish keys in the mitre joints - what timber was this?
How did you do the lid, and allow for lid expansion?
I think it is a very neat, attractive box - well done!regards,

The box is rosewood, and the mitres are rosewood too. They come out a slightly different colour because of the grain orientation.
The lid sits in a groove, and it floats (not glued), and the groove is around 2 mm wider than the panel to allow for movement.
thanks for the nice comments.
cheers,

Not much else to say totally agree with previous posts simple elegant box and the flame panel sets it of a treat.

Very nice indeed. Those hinges really make a difference and I believe are worth the cost when you make a box this good.
And my head I'd be a scratchin'
While my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.

Great looking box, I love it. I love to work with rosewood, although it does stain your clothes pretty much. I'm just about to start another box which will be predominantly all in rosewood also.
