Ebony coco bolo update

Update on the Ebony Coco Bolo box.
Haven't had a chance to sand it yet, but this week.
 
I came to the conclusion that this box didn't want to be made. A number of challenges along the way for various reasons. It is finally seeing things my way.

 
I did manage to keep part of the Pulp edge, not as much as I wanted buts its nice and subtle
 

The material costs of this piece will put this at a pretty high price point. I will get it sanded and cleared out and will post finished images I hope this week.
 
Would you like it? drop me a note and it can be yours.
 
 
 
Thanks -Bill
 
 
 


Old Wood revisited

 Ah playing with old wood again.
I was looking through my scrap boxes and started laying of a mix match of woods. I was happy to see how they turned out.
 
Old old old walnut with red cedar


My favorite part the break through

Carrying on the conversation from earlier posts, I just love what gem was hiding in this board. This walnut is so old. It smells old. I am going to be doing this more often now utilizing the scraps from old projects.
Small piece of Santos Mahogany I had laying around with hard maple on the lip.
Will make a nice pencil box.

9 Inches long by 7/8 wide. Will make a very nice pencil box for someone.

 Nice sandwich
 
I will be sanding and finishing this out very soon. This is right of the machine.

Holidays are coming. Got something in mind for someone significant? Drop me a note and we can make it happen for you.
 
 
Thanks for looking.
