2 of my latest boxes
« on: August 27, 2015, 11:10:02 pm »
Here are two of my latest boxes.  This first one is a take on a Steve Good pattern.  The mouse was cut from ribbon sapele, the box was cut from pine.  Sealed with tung oil and shellacked.  I lined the inside with 1/32 ply to block the holes and then flocked the inside with a wine colored flocking.











This second one is a simple masculine box approx 3" x 5".  The woods used were Oak and Pine.  The box was finished with lacquer and then flocked on the inside with a wine colored flocking.

Super nice work, I like the subtle color change between the pine and oak.

The mouse sitting on cheese is a Steve Good Pattern.  I modified the pattern to make it a simple box.  Here is the link to the Mouse on Cheese pattern. http://www.stevedgood.com/mousecheese.pdf  Making the box it easy enough.  I put 1/32 in. ply inside the box I made so that the holes would not go into the box cavity and then flocked the inside to finish it.  It really is not difficult to make the cheese into box then it is just a matter putting in holes if you wish, shaping the mouse and then gluing the mouse into position.  A good afternoon project.
