Hi all
Just thought I'd show some pics of my latest pieces which where created for an exibition in Dublin which starts at the end of the month
The Yew was sourced locally and I was lucky enough to come across some lovely yew burr which was cut to 3mm thick.
The sycamore came form Scottish hardwoods and the ripple was veneer from ooriginal marquetry.
I sanded the yew burr to .8mm on my drum sander and veneered the lid and base both sides.
The box was made in one piece using deep rebates and the lid and base where set into grooves cut on the router table.
After glueup the box was sanded to 180 grit and then I marked out for the 3 lines these where cut with a 2mm cutter to a depth of 1mm and filled with tinted polyester resin,
Once dry it was sanded to 180 and then I inlayed the border which is acetal plastic, I carefully cut the mitres and glued in place with PVA.
Once dry the border was rounded over and all was sanded to 400.
I then seperated the lid on the bandsaw and sanded this on a sanding board then fitted the inner walls which where 2mm thick.
Some sanding on the inners to get a perfect fit then 3 coats of D. oil finished with wax.
I think thats everything.
Thanks for looking
Ian
