miraclechicken Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 Chip-carved box prototype is 2" x 1-1/4". It is made from pear. I say prototype because it was an experiment to see what exactly was feasible, especially the hardware. I made the strap hinges and hasp from thin brass, then blackened them. I made a little box joint jig too. The new ones will have a refined more detailed design and better hardware. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catherine Ronan Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I happen to own one of Linda;s chip carved trays. Until you hold it in your hand you can't begin to appreciate how beautiful it is. Linda, your box is beautiful. I can't wait to see the next one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
