This box features both of the decorative techniques I work with, end grain lamination, and inlay banding. The inner end grain panel features Brazilian tulip-wood tulips, and the inlay banding features honey locust leaves in a field of curly maple, with macassar ebony. The case is figured cherry … with macassar ebony legs and stretchers. Hinged with Italian brass cylinder hinges and with Brusso lidstay. The compound mitred top section is solid cherry with Maccassar ebony inlay, and the lower case is solid Maccassar ebony legs and stretchers with panels veneered with a thick veneer cut from the same board as the top section for perfect color match. This construction allows me to fit the drawers very precisely for a silky glide, without binding when the weather changes.See more detail at my website.
