I've been making a presentation box for a canteen of cutlery out of English Cherry. The joints are through dovetails and the lid is veneered with a yew burr. Lovely.
All the woodworking stuff went very smoothly and enjoyably... It looks great with the pair of Brusso quadrant hinges that I've fitted to allow the lid (which will be lined with the knives) to rest open at 95 degrees.
Then I got on to the cutlery rests/slots.
Lining the tiny slots that I had created with a soft felt material was like Extreme Blue Peter - with blades.
I finished the fiddly felt bit at home today in a sawdust free environment.
Bring on the finishing and polishing.
And here's a wood-y tune:
