graman 2 Posted May 21, 2011 Experiment - The next generation! version 2! Introducing Dad's first experimental Watch box. Again...this is a little shallow for a first go - best for bracelet watches, as opposed to Pams and others with big mega straps that sit high.....will change for next time. This however is a rare timber. Top - Camphor Laurel Sides - Birdseye Lombardi Poplar (yes...a burl!) Natural oil and wax finish. Yes...Lombardi Poplar burls are VERY rare!.........VERY rare! this one has a lovely black going through the burl - Quite unique. The cushions are hand sewn from suede. Dimensions are on the photo. Price is $100usd + $30 shipping by normal airmail $8 shipping if in Oz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rav747 0 Posted May 21, 2011 These are gorgeous, graman. Any chance of making a box that possibly holds 4(for my dad) and 10 for me and possibly having a glass top, but the quality of wood you have been using? I have seen many of them online, but none have come close to these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
graman 2 Posted May 21, 2011 HI Rav, The short answer is yes, but not for a few months. Dad's been very ill, the last 18 months....more if you split hairs..... As he recovers, I've been giving him a few "assignments" to keep him occupied, and help to get him more active. So...the short answer is yes....the long answer is not yet, but it's coming later this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rav747 0 Posted May 21, 2011 No, problem, I will wait Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aren 27 Posted May 21, 2011 More beautiful, beautiful work. Please convey this to your Dad. I love the dovetail joints. Very high quality craftsmanship. The wood is strikingly finished and the grain is stunning. This would make a lovely Father's Day gift. I hope you Dad is feeling better. Warmest well wishes to him.

Ska 11 Posted May 21, 2011 Gra - buddy thats epic!!! This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for for my custom watches at the end of the year. Walnut burl perhaps would be easier to find as I doubt you'll be able to get much more poplar burl. Tell your dad he's a genius from me!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Future dimensions and styles will change, however a the 2 berth box will not be replicated again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
