ambrosia maple, american cherry, black walnut and hard maple
This heirloom quality piece originated out of a need for my wife to have somewhere for her to store her smaller sewing items in a singular location. It's a perfect way to store those items you're always hunting for when you need to make a quick fix...needles, thread, trim scissors, buttons etc. in an inconspicuous and attractive fashion. It would also be a perfect spot to store those smaller pieces of jewelry or keepsakes.
The box is approximately 8-1/2 inches long by 5 inches wide and 3 inches tall.
It's produced out of American Cherry, Ambrosia Maple and Black Walnut and is lined with a golden suede . It's been sanded to 400 grit and burnished with fine steel wool for a satin smooth feel. The finish is a mix of 3 coats of wiping varnish followed by 2 coats of wax, producing a finish that is durable and silky. The box features hand cut dovetails and is a truly hand made piece.
This piece is a custom order and can be ready to ship with 2 weeks production time. Wood grain, knots, and coloring will vary from piece to piece. The piece can be made from several different species of domestic hard and soft woods. Please contact me with questions about what woods are available.
Available for custom order in the Watkins Wood Work store on Etsy.
