Walnut Watch Box
American black walnut watch box with pippy oak inlay and miter splines. Brass recessed hinges with internal pippy oak watch separator and cream linen watch cushions.
I was approached by my client who was looking for a birthday gift for her partner. Her partner was very keen on the intricacies of box making, the detailing of joints and using high figure timber to create impact. They were keen to own a bespoke piece of work that was a one off and could be handed down in the future. The design worked around a highly figured piece of walnut framed with pippy oak on the lid. The box was built around the watches first, paying attention to the ergonomics and clean lines. I added two pippy oak splines on each mitred corner adding further decoration and strength.
