My latest box.

made with a wonderful piece of heat treated rippled sycamore at front and back, with beech and ply in between.The pics dont do justice to the sycamore, its the most impressive wood I have seen. I was given an offcut of it from a custom furniture maker.

Now that is nice. And I am sure the pictures don't do it justice, should look even better in person. If I were you I'd make friends with that guy.

 

[sunnybob]

He's over 2000 miles away and on a different continent, so wood care packages are few and far between.
I must take photography lessons, I just cant display it properly.

 

[JOAT]

Regardless, stay on his good side. Me, I'd be happy to pay postage, if I was getting stuff that looks that good.

Oh the pictures are fine. I just don't think you're going to get the full look in a picture, it's one of those things you've got to see in person. I'm really going to have to try something like that for one or two of my projects.

Very nice Bob. Where is the Sycamore from. I have made several tables out of Spalted Sycamore, but yours look
much better.

 

[sunnybob]

honestly dont know. The furniture maker is in the UK, thats all I can tell you. Dont even know his business name, just a guy on a UK woodworking forum.

 

[Multiwood]

Well wherever he gets if from get more Bob it is sure beautiful. Keep up the good work.

Wow!!!!

 

[honesttjohn]

[TenGees]

That wood is special, as is your box Bob.

Hi Bob, when I saw the name of your post, I figured it was you. You do such beautiful work. My stuff looks pitiful compared to your. Looks beautiful! Malcolm / Kentucky USA

 

[DonkeyHody]

Your work has an artistry and creativity that I envy. I tend to think in straight lines . . . . The execution is superb too!

 

[chessnut2]

Wow, Bob! I never cease to be amazed at the boxes you make. Thanks for sharing.

 

[sunnybob]

Malcolm, your work is better than mine. I go for the full on "in yer face" style, yours is very understated but more intricately finished. And dont forget who helped me learn how to do the wipe on poly.:wink::grin:

 

[Roy Drake]

Just beautiful!!! Words are not adequate.

A little money maker?

I'd love to have something like that to hold my hearing aids overnight.
:sold: Hey! there's a little, local marketing idea--hearing aid centers. Put a soft liner inside. Small square or round boxes, band saw boxes. Keeps your dog from eating your hearing aids, keeps them safe from harm. Won't make you rich, but you're using mostly cutoffs and glue-ups of scraps and it would keep a woodworker off the streets, running with gangs and such. :wink:

Wow Plus

Excellent - you've got box-making down to a science.

As far as your photography skills, they're a lot better than this guy:

It's a "for sale" ad for some tools - I bet he didn't even notice his own shadow

 

[JFPNCM]

Excellent box as always. You've found a good friend in that wood shop,

 

[Gaffboat]

You make some lovely boxes, Bob.
