New box designs.

[Dave Monk]

How time flies. I joined this group ten years ago which was the beginning of my scroll saw journey. So many members here gave me help and guidance. I can't thank you all enough.  I have to give @Jim Finn credit for introducing me to inlayed box. That got me going on box building. 

Now I enjoy Inlaying and also incorporating intarsia into them.

These are really great. Love the humming bird.

What size are the boxes?

 

[JTTHECLOCKMAN]

Can you show us a box with a few more views like with it open and from an angle? Thanks. Yor work always is impressive.

[FrankEV]

Such a short journey.  Only ten years to become a master craftsmam, which you are in every way.  Your work is truly of master quality

Thanks for your kind words. I have been wood working as a hobby my whole life but I bought a scroll saw ten years ago.

I make many different types of boxes. The ones I posted are pain but finished inside. Some I put inserts for jewelry.

Holy cow Dave! Those are beautiful! The 3D box just blows me away.

Stunning word @Dave Monk.

That hummingbird pattern is suring flitting around.

On a different topic, did you get into that big juried show?

I got put on the waiting list and a week later I got an email of acceptance. It's in two weeks and I'm stoked. Thanks for asking.

Dave, the boxes are beautiful as always, 10 years wow, time flies. If you didn't make into that show it would have been their lost, we will need pictures, good luck, RJ

[MarieC]

I love them all but I do feel that dragon fly box is my favorite.  I love how you did the wings.  What kind of wood did you use for the wings anyway?  Holly?

[Peter N White]

Great work on all your boxes hope you do well in the juried show.

Thanks. The wings are quarter sawn sycamore. Both are inlaid into the tops otherwise. The dragonfly legs are so small there is no way I could have surface mounted them.

Dave, I didn't realize the bird and dragon fly were inlaid, looking at the picture it looks mounted on top, RJ

I think the pieces are less apt to break or come off if they are inlayed.
