This is a sold box that I'm relisting as a made-to-order item. Please allow 2 weeks for the box to be completed and shipped.
This box is a bit of a tribute to my favorite species of lumber, Walnut. Walnut is known for it's classic rich dark tones and is a premium domestic species. This box is made of three subspecies of walnut and shows off a very interesting visual element in the top.
The sides are Black Walnut. The top is both Claro Walnut and English Walnut and features the graft line between the two. This is section of the tree to difficult to obtain given it's occurs in only one crossection of the trees grafted by hand. This top reminds me of a book laying open with the graft line being the binding. A unique feature that you won't find elsewhere.
The miter keys were made from precious and expensive solid Gabon Ebony. These miter keys serve a dual role of both adding an aesthetic touch as well as reinforcing the miter joints for more robust construction.
The cushioned bottom was made with furniture style upholstery and fine fabric. This bottom adds to the luxurious feel and classic stylistic tones of this box.
Exterior Dimensions: 10″ x 8″ x 4.5″
Interior Dimensions: 9.5″ x 7.25″ x 3.5″
Depth of Bottom Portion of Box: 2.5″
