Sycamore Jewellery Box

[Ian]

Hi All
This is a jewellery box made from Ripple Sycamore with Indian Rosewood trays and lined in yellow suede. The lid consists of 22 pieces of Ripple Sycamore veneer laid out in a stepped pattern and the middle pieces are running in a different direction to show off the design. The lid is bordered with black acetal with polyester inlays. The hardware is good quality nickel and it has an ebony and aluminium escutcheon.

This is the first time I have been asked to write an article on any of my boxes. The Steps box will be appearing in January’s Good Woodworking magazine and it will come with pull out plans. http://www.getwoodworking.com/news/article.asp?a=7505

Cheers

Ian

Ian,

That is a very nice box, I like the colour choice for the suede.

Where do you get your suede from ?

 

[Jensmith]

Very crisp work Ian.

How do you apply the suede?

Spot on Ian, it deserves the magazine coverage.

That's a lovely box, i love the colour of the suede also.
I've just had a look at your website and you have some really nice work on there too.
Do you sell a lot of boxes?

Crisply executed...not a fan of those raised escutcheons or the yellow suede but nicely made overall - Rob

Hi Sean

The suede is applied to card with DS tape then glued on.

Mattty I work mostly to commission and produce ring boxes in batches of 20 - I would make about 20 - 25 commissions a year.

Cheers

sorry to drag up an old thread, but does anybody still have the pullout plans for this box?

I'm glad you pulled this thread back up! This box is stunning. Everything about it is so well executed. The yellow lining was unexpected but really works.
