I made this for my mothers birthday,

very challenging but worth it, I used some flamed meranti, which came from an old door.

I thought I'd post it here this time instead of using the post what you made thread,

it's a paid project on woodworking masterclasses by paul sellers,

I think I'm going to make a few more of them out of different woods.

hope you like it,

regards,

Ben.

That looks really really smart !!! Nicely done.

Very neat.

The pictures on the screen I'm using aren't all that clear (or possibly my eyesight is worse than I thought) - are the dovetails raked/angled (if that is the right word - aligned on the radius of the curve of the box is what I mean), or are they as normal and the sides curved after assembly?

Which ever way round it's a nice piece of work.
 
Lovely work TT.
