Box Dressing
« on: February 10, 2013, 10:07:55 am »
This is a butterfly from the March 2013 Creative Woodworks. I wanted to dress up the plywood box so it made a better gift box. My first attempt at intarsia - the box is about 6.5Lx2.5Wx2.5H. The body of the butterfly is a piece of ebony cut from a mandolin keyboard (scrap after fitting the keyboard to the neck). Sorry but I don't know the wood in the wings. It has a dark grain so looked like a good fit for the texture of the butterfly wing.
