box 007

I bought pre-cut strips of mahogany and walnut for this box. I wanted to try something uniform so there would be less mistakes. This didn't quite turn out the way I expected because the colors were not as contrasty as I originally intended.

w = 2-7/8"
h = 3-1/4"
d = 2-7/8"

The way this box was going, slow and ugly, I thought it was going to be a waste of time. I wasn't going to use any abalone on this box, but at the end, felt it needed something to give it some interest. Tried to use gold leaf on the inside, but that turned out to be a total fiasco, so went back to art paper instead.

w = 2-3/4"
h = 3"
d = 2-3/4
