Wilson's Woodworking Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Here it is. The box I made for my son’s wedding. The box is my own design patterned after a box I made some years back and scaled down with a few changes to make the top even angles and therefore easier to make. I used woods to reflect the colors of their wedding. Red, gold, and black. The box is cedar and the inlays are oak, walnut, and box elder. I wish I would have used maple for the date to make it stand out a little better but my son wanted walnut to have the black in the box. I also wish I had made the bells just a little bigger and moved them down just a little to get them away from the white part of the cedar. I guess you live and learn. I am happy with it for my first inlay project anyway. Next to make a box for my fiancé for our wedding. A Big Thanks goes out to Jim Finn for sparking my interest and being a great tutor at the double bevel inlay Edited May 10, 2014 by Wilson's Woodworking robbert100 and lawson56 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay Prozora Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 It's a beautiful box and it will be treasured for years to come. Great job on the finish too. I have never treid the inlay as yet so I want to give that a try. Maybe some thing small and simple. Take care Fay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Finn Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Very nice Inlay! The bells look great. Yes Maple will stand out a lot better in Cedar. I have given up on using walnut in cedar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
