This box features a contrast of light and dark. The top and left/right sides are Katalox, a very dense material that is also known as Royal Mexican Ebony. The front and back of this box are Ash.
The joinery on this box is dovetails.
The bottom of this box has a quality upholstered, velvet lining in a silver-grey color. My interiors are precision fit and installed.
Finished with a variety of products to enhance the grain as well as provide a high-gloss appearance. Finishing is the most variable and potentially complex part of woodworking. I easily spend the majority of time in my builds in finishing. Many stages... many products are involved in order to achieve what you see in my final products.
