Mo boxes

Hi Malcolm. Those are really nice. I appreciate your adding finishing information and good pictures. Always look forward to your posts.

Very fine looking boxes nice job, malcolm

Looking good!!

Malcolm, absolutely superb in all ways . Those horse inlays are quite intricate, did you do those with a template and router, or was that CNC?

Beautiful as always . Thanks for sharing Malcolm

Malcolm those are great as always. Love the book matched rosewood top

Stunning as always, but the Brazilian Rosewood is a special treat!!

I have two different businesses that do my engraving. I take the boards to him before assembling the box. I believe he uses the computer to select the horses and the computer drives a small device for burning the engraving.

Beautiful as always Malcom.

A joy to look at. Thanks, Malcolm.

Fantastic, as usual, Malcolm! I have to ask where you got the Brazilian Rosewood - that stuff is hard to find and expensive, very expensive, when you can find it.

I got the Brazilian rosewood from Bell Forest Products in Michigan. I think the board was around 1 1/4" thick by 3 3/4" wide by 40" long.

I have looked at them before but didn't see BRW listed (and not listed today, either). Was it a one-off they had? Just curious because I would like to get some but it's hard to find except already sawn for guitar sides and backs.

Excellent boxes, Malcolm. Do you add a lip to the lids to keep them in place?

Excellent work and I will echo Tom's comment that the finishing details are very helpful.

Malcolm, I don't see how I missed seeing your post for so long. I always like your boxes because they are all beautiful.

Malcolm my friend,

You continue to make me look like a slob.
I'm thinking of becoming a stand-up comedian.
All I would need is a few of your projects to compare to a few of mine.

I would probably get a standing ovation and then booed out for embarrassment!

Keep-up the GREAT WORK!

For many of my boxes I cut a lip on the bottom side of the lid to hold it in place. I have a router set up in a table with an Incra fence so that I can move the fence back in 1/1000 of an inch. Actually I have a bunch of routers set up in tables for doing a specific job.

As far as purchasing the rosewood, a year or so ago I was looking on Bell Forest Products under Hand Select Boards and found it. Once I get some of these boards it may be a year before I determine what to make.

I just started making 4-plant stands. It will be several weeks and I'll post pictures. All will be 8-sided columns.

Magnificent work Malcolm.
