The OxoBox

[FogggyTown]

Friend of mine commissioned a storage box for Oxo cubes. (his wife's idea - not mine!) Had to be able to store 36 each of three different kinds of cube. So this is what he got.

Panels are maple, "beams" are black walnut, lid is zebrano. I have no doubt it is the only one in existence!

nice design but i dont like the lid - i'd have prefered it made the same as the box its just too different and clashes rather than contrasting imo

I wasn't that sure about it myself but I was doing it for free with scraps so that's what he gets. :wink:

I keep looking back at your box trying to think what it reminds me of...then it hit me....ART DECO...it must be the squares....

The inspiration actually came from the typical Tudor/Elizabethan timber frame construction.

I just saw a bit of Charlie Rennie in it!

But whatever the inspiration...it's beautiful.
