Members thefanninator Posted February 6, 2018 Members Report Posted February 6, 2018 I recently commissioned a friend who does woodcraft to make a box to hold my linen thread spools. The base is made from Cherry with Wenge corner pins. The top is a 39-piece mosaic made from wenge, sapele, maple, chakte, zebrawood, purpleheart and rosewood. Quote
garypl Posted February 6, 2018 Report Posted February 6, 2018 That is some beautiful wood and workmanship! Quote
Members thefanninator Posted February 6, 2018 Author Members Report Posted February 6, 2018 Thanks. Yeah it beats the plastic box I had it in. Makes the shop (garage) look a little nicer. Quote
Members DJole Posted February 6, 2018 Members Report Posted February 6, 2018 I love fine woodwork, and that is some FINE woodwork. What a handsome, colorful place for your colorful thread to hang out in! Quote
Members Basically Bob Posted February 6, 2018 Members Report Posted February 6, 2018 Wow! That’s beautiful & some pretty nice thread to boot! Quote
Members rodneywt1180b Posted February 7, 2018 Members Report Posted February 7, 2018 Your friend went above and beyond on that. My wife wouldn't let me keep something that nice in the shop. Quote
Members thefanninator Posted February 7, 2018 Author Members Report Posted February 7, 2018 Thanks everyone, glad you like it. Quote
Members Fire88 Posted February 9, 2018 Members Report Posted February 9, 2018 That’s a beautiful box Quote

bikermutt07 Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 Isn't it amazing how awesome something as simple as a box can be? That is some fantastic work. Quote
Reegesc Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 My motto is "If you can't do it over the top, why bother?" And friend, that is WAY over the top. Very nice indeed. Quote
