First posting under the new UKW format (good btw) of a little cufflink box. The box was made using the last fragment of my board of 'waterfall' elm sourced from Yandles a few years ago:
Standard thru' shovetails with a solid top and veneered ply base. No 'lift' fitted but a small chamfer was worked along the front and on all sharp edges. The interior compartments (six in all) were made from my stash of Bog Oak, 5300 years old. In order for the halving joints to be made invisible, the sections were fitted from the bottom upwards into their grooves. The easier way is to fit the base, then mitre the sides in position and finally push the partitions in from the top vertically downwards. This was done the reverse way round which made it much harder:
The hinges were some from Ian Hawthorne:
The interior was lined according to Custard's method (card and double sided tape) with some faux velvet supplied by Derek Jones of F&C fame some years ago:
Finished with a couple of coats of mat Osmo-Polyx with some Swedish beeswax from CHT over the top - Rob
