This is a commissioned box in maple for an ex Gurkha officer. He wanted the word "SampeiBhaini" carved on the front, and the inside left empty.

This is quite a large box.

The overall sizes are 350mm wide, 260mm deep and 155mm high.

 

I carved the lettering before I glued the box together.

African blackwood was used for the key escutcheon.

The top is one piece of maple split in half and jointed together to give two similar grain patterns. Known as "book matching".
