Looks nice Bob.
bhuddist triangle
I had to find a way of displaying a set of 6 small buddha figures without them being dust magnets.
So I made a Beech triangle with three Bubinga splines in each joint.
But then I realised it was not deep enough to hold the glass as well as the figures.
So I made a quarter round moulding out of Maple to extend the depth.
But then I didnt like two of the mitre joints so I made wing tips out of more Bubinga.
The back is 12 mm ply with black flocking, and the figures are on Bubinga pedestals mortise and tenoned into the ply.
Unfortunately because the thing kept changing and it almost got binned twice, I didnt take any pics of the process. So all I have are these of it hanging on the wall. But I am pleased with the (eventual) outcome.

Did you try using a 16-side bird mouth router bit? Run a cut on one side of a long board, then cut it into 16 pieces?
Here's a pic of a box using an 8-side bit. The sides lock together nicely.

Looks very nice and with that experience you can make a new rack for your pool table.

I really like your work -- especially the turtle
Now I see you have quite a few bird-mouth constructed boxes -- they are very nice!Great web site. Did you do it yourself?
