Popular Post Jim Finn Posted August 20, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 One of my customers requested that I make a box for them with a magnolia blossom inlaid into the lid. This is what I came up with. I made five of them because I like it and think others may like it also. I got the image through an image search on the web. Flower is made of maple and Bois'darc and leaves of poplar. Box lid is made of eastern red cedar. (aromatic) fastfreddy, James E.

Ron Johnson Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Fabulous and very beautiful Jim. Woods chosen compliment one another. One question, what thickness hardwood did you use for the inlay? Thank you. Jim Finn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted August 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Thanks for the kind words. I have not done many inlays this summer. I have been selling plenty of them though and making and selling band saw boxes. I use 3/8" wood for all these double bevel inlays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted August 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 I made five of these. My first sale to offer them is tomorrow but I only have one left! The lady that made the original order wanted two additional ones after seeing the first. I sold another to a friend so I am now down to just one. I now know what I will be making more of, come Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted August 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I offerd that last Magnolia blossom box at the sale yesterday. I sold thirteen boxes but not that one. Go figure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Monk Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 I call my projects like this one "my ego projects". They make me feel good and give me a sense of accomplishment. If you price them for what you think their worth it doesn't seem like others appreciate the work and craftsmanshipn unless it means something personal to them. dave Jim Finn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
