    Small cedar box with inlay in hinged lid

    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.Rounded sides box.jpg

    I think Pat meant nicely done, and I totally agree!

    Had a street sale today and sold two of these at 20% more than my other, straight sided boxes. Just may be worth making more like this.

    Nice work. The petals are silky and I like the way they drape on one side. The latch is too ordinary and overly detailed for such an exuberant modern design, think a spherical knob would look better.

    Yes - I certainly meant nicely done. Really beautiful work! I don't know what neely means - I'll blame it on my cell phone.
