I build boxes for a few galleries and when I do a run of boxes I always build a few extras. This time around I have 8 extra boxes, 5 rectangular and 3 square. The boxes are built of different species of hardwoods with various burl or spalted tamarind inlays. The lid lifts are fractal burned hardwood, various species. The corners are mitered with dovetail splines installed in the corners for strength. The boxes are finished with hand rubbed oil and wax. The  liners are embossed vinyl and depict butterflies, dragon flies and flowers. I call these boxes utilitarian art boxes and usually they sell to people who have a nice watch or bracelet and they need a place to keep it overnight. 

The square boxes are 5”x5”x2 1/4” high, inside usable space about 1 1/2” depth. $215.00 each shipped. I charge more for the square boxes because of the additional work required.

The rectangular boxes are 6”x3 3/4”x 2 1/4” high, inside usable space is 1 1/2” depth. $175.00 each shipped.

 

Pm me if you have any questions about certain boxes. If you order within the next week or so they will arrive for Valentines Day.

 

Here are a couple that haven’t sold. They are both built out of Jarrah, an Indonesian hardwood that was used in a business building floor and the floor was water damaged and the floor warped so they replaced the wood. I salvaged enough for a bunch of boxes and these 2 are some of them. The inlays are madrone burl and the lid lifts are fractal burned Jarrah also. The embossed vinyl liner material was made by Chinese virgins.:lol:. $175.00 each shipped.

I have one of Yuls beautiful boxes.

A fractal burned box that he generously gifted me and my family.

Anyone owning any woodworking from Yul Lose owns a piece of art.

 

Don't miss this opportunity.

Very nice as usual Yul. But my never ending curiosity asks, what makes a square harder than a rectangle?

The square boxes are inlayed on all four sides and the rectangular are only inlaid on the front and back of the box. The square lids are made up of 4 triangular pieces that are held together with hidden splines so the glue up process is a bit more involved. The rectangular lids are a solid piece of lumber.

Thanks, that would surely do it! They look great as does everything you build.

Saucy Susie won one of these boxes at Bordertown this past year.

She treasures it as a piece of art and uses it daily as her jewelry box for earrings .

Thank you Yul for donating this to the Bordertown Raffle prizes !!

Please be advised that I only respond by PM or to your email after we’ve made arrangements. There is a scammer out there contacting box buyers by text message, I don’t do that.
