Now my wife will let me keep them on the mantlepiece...
Lights:
Lumapower Trust Model 1 - 350 lumen multi-mode EDC
Lumapower Trust Model 2 - 450 lumen multi mode EDC for people with big hands & pockets
Case:
Split lid wit Anton Gerner brass hinge & antique clasp
Queen Ebony & Rock maple lid with Western Australian Karri case
Hand filled & formed padded royal blue felt base of solid Blackbutt milled to 4mm. Splined mitre joints with Ebony splines.
All wood milled then stabilized then re- milled and glued up
Hand cut back to 2400 grit successively then finished with 0000 steel wool
8 coats of Organoil hard burnishing oil finished a high speed buff to cross link
I hand made this box a few months ago to have a go at using Ebony for the first time ever as a cabinet maker (about $150 worth just in that lid oo and everyone told me it looked too manly to be a jewelry box but I didn't have the heart to cut a big hole in it for a humidor to make it into a cigar box, When I got the Lumapowers they fit in real nice so I got some foam and the rest is history.
Insert:
Pelican Pick n' Pluck for an 1120 case which was a perfect fit
Thanks for looking.
