Custom Round Box - Butterfly Inlay

[Denny Knappen]

The pattern is by Diana Thompson and found in "Custom Wooden Boxes for the Scroll Saw".  The box is approximately 5 1/2" in diameter.  It is made from Hard Maple with Red Cedar Butterfly inlay.  I used FD Polar #3 and #7 blades.  The finish is one coat sanding sealer and two coats spray Lacquer Clear Semi Gloss.  Comments Welcome.

Thank Brenda.  Five years ago, I made one using Walnut and Hard Maple.  I like the Red Cedar better.

Thanks Paul.  I like the Red Cedar for the Butterfly.  I used 3/8" stock.

Thanks Les.  We had a pastor years ago use the word "Dynamite" a lot.
