Hickory with Walnut Lid

This box is made out of a Hickory base with a Walnut Lid. The lid is eccentric turned, and attached with a small metal rod that it pivots on. There is also a small rod at the front to hold the lid closed.

Looks nice kryon. This is one of those pieces that I need to see in person in order to understand what it is that you've done. I'm assuming that you have to lift the lid to get it off/on the front rod?

Cool box Krayon, it looks like a mushroom of sorts. Looks like the pivot rods worked nicely.

Rev,
You have to lift the front of the box off of the latch, and then pivot it. This idea is no where close to what I originally planned, but I am happy with the results after getting some finish on it. Smile

Chris,
That was the idea... To make it look like a toadstool.

Good looking box, Derek, and a nice design on the lid attachment device too. (What app do you use to put the pictures together?)

Thanks, may still have an old PhotoShop in the desk.

I use Photoshop to do all my graphics and editing.

Another great idea on how to attach the lid. That hickory it pretty by itself with the sapwood and heartwood and then the walnut sets it off nice too. A stool every toad would be envious of.

The hickory is very pretty, although I think the lid kind of overwhelms the piece. But very interesting nonetheless, and nice job on the hinge--I like that!
