It's a beautiful box, on its way to being a church.

Every element is matching up perfectly. The rosette is a stunner!

Thanks Han. Rosettes are one of the sticking points for me.

Working on the binding and bevels
Top armrest limits staked out.



The lap bevel is more difficult to cut in because it's on an inside curve instead of an outside curve like the arm bevel. It's almost entirely done by hand


Finally, even though the box was already closed I was not pleased with the back strip inlay so I changed it out for something with more "pop"
Curly Kiaat surrounded by fiddleback mahogany and a black line in between. I'll have to redo the end graft to match.

I might be in a rut. But that mahogany does look good against dark wood. Any way thanks for the comment.

Smile Anything worth doing...

Isn't the saying, "anything worth doing is worth doing twice?" Ha ha Ha

I don't see how That back strip could look any better John so good idea doing it again.

Looking forward to getting my next one going with you, Sensi!

Play on gang and happy Friday to all

Paul
