This handcrafted box is made with quarter-sawn Sapele with Peruvian Walnut trim on the top. A single board was used for the four sides and sequenced so the grain wraps nicely around the mitered corners. Quarter-sawn Sapele is known for its beautiful chatoyancy which means that the lighter and darker areas appear to shift depending on the angle from which it is viewed. The inside bottom is lined with a nice looking faux leather material, perfectly fitted. Stop hinges will hold the lid open at 95 degrees.
It is finished with Danish Oil, followed by buffing and polishing with pure Carnauba wax. Finish is shiny but not too glossy and feels great.
O/S dimensions: 10-7/8 x 8 x 4"
I/S dimensions: 9-1/2 x 6-1/2 x 3-1/4". Depth includes lid space. The bottom portion depth is 2-5/8"
Underside is signed, dated, and includes finish care instructions. I recommend Howard Feed-N-Wax for keeping the box looking nice. It is readily available on the internet and will keep your box looking great for years.
Engraving is no additional charge for monograms, two first names plus a last name, and date, etc. Photos are shown of types of engraving that are included at no charge. Normally engraving can be done without a delay in shipping, but if you need a rush job, please convo me first and check if we can get it done in time.
A clasp can also be added for $12 additional. The clasp I use is pictured.
Shipping is insured.
