I am coming to the end of my first year at college and i thought i would show you my first attempt at veneered box making. I am quite pleased with it but there are a few elements i am not happy about. There are a few gaps around the tray and unfortunately the tray is not square by a mil meaning the tray can only go in one way.

I have used walnut and ash veneer's, i do not know what the stringing is. I found the process of making the box and veneering quite straight foward and i will probably attempt to make a few more at home now i have confidence with the process.
I finished the box with a couple of coats of sanding sealer, a couple of coats of clear polish and a bit of briwax.
I have enjoyed my first year studying furniture making, starting as a complete novice, i have picked up skills and confidence throughout the year. Next year i will begin machine made furniture which is basically the same as the handcrafted furniture i have been doing except i am able to become competent in the workshop machinery.
If i improve as much as i have in the last 9 months next year i will be very happy.
regards
