BOX PROJECT

Fall 2011

​

Maple

Sapele Mahogany

​

This box was designed as part of an introduction to woodworking class.  Through the design and construction of this project, I learned many joinery techniques and methods of woodworking.

​

I chose to use contrasting wood types of Maple and Sapele Mahogany to create a play between light and dark.  The reveals formed by the overlay of interlocking forms made of these two materials give a nice depth to the piece.  The form of the box allows it to rest upon its lid while open.

​

The box was designed to hold keepsakes and cards from friends and loved ones.
