A Killer New Box- and the progression of our "Eve" box.

Because Tom is getting fed up with hinged boxes, here is a new effort without them: pink ivory wood inlaid with turquoise, on curved  wenge legs, wenge top and base, turquoise lid lift. I just love the glowing color of the pink ivory. Really, this is one of my favorites in a while- although it turned out quite differently from the original plan.
This is now for sale under "Constructed Boxes."

Here is how the "Garden of Eden" box is going so far. It has bocote sides and we made it a tall little cabinet. The sides have birds bandsawn and woodburned on the top. I just love how the glass snake pull turned out- it's sewn to the wood with copper. These door will slide open- Tom is a freaking genius at engineering these things, especially since until yesterday we intended to hinge it- but as I said, he's fed up with hinges and so is highly motivated to be creative.

Below is a pic of how the doors will slide open to reveal the inside.
