The Canarywood in this box has a spectacular grain pattern and rich, varying colours. The scene on the top is framed by bands of unusual dominantly red Canarywood, separated and defined by strips of black veneer.

Except for black veneer, no stains or dyes have been used. The rich colours that you see are the natural colours of the finished woods.

Woods Used:

Canarywood Cardinalwood

Exterior:

The sides of the box are made from a single board with waterfall mitre joints. That allows the natural pattern of the wood grain to flow all the way around the box. Grain is matched on three corners.

Mitred corners are reinforced with Cardinalwood keys.

Sides are solid 1/2" (13  mm) thick Canarywood

 

 
Top is made from solid woods into an assembly about 1/2" (13 mm) thick. It is then re-sawn into two pieces about 1/8" (3mm) thick which are laminated to both sides of 1/4" (6 mm) plywood. This construction not only makes the interior of the top as attractive as the exterior, but also prevents warping of the top.

Interior:

Solid brass quadrant hinges.

Tray sides and dividers are Cherry.

Interior is  lined with durable faux suede.
