Walnut posts being sanded to the correct size and contour on the Drill Press table.

On the Router Table, mortices are cut on two sides of the posts to accept mitred tenons.

Tenons are mitred to attach box sides to each post. Box sides are numbered to correspond to each numbered post.

The base for the box is cut from Beech plywood. After sanding, it is then covered with Burgundy Leather.

This Lacebark and Jarrah box was sold to a lady from the U.K. who was over here travelling through New Zealand. After some careful packing I sent it on its way to the west of England.

This Red Beech Desk Box with Jarrah posts and handle and an Intarsia lid was on display at Marlborough Creative Artisan’s Shop in Picton. Thank you to a gentleman from Auckland with an appreciation of woods and woodworking who purchased the box to take back home with him.
