Pattern Located in Full Size Pattern Section No. 2!

by John Polhemus

I Introduction

| These boxes were inspired by the popular Gallery Basket

1 series from 1999. The finished effect I was after was tex-

| tured rather than woven, which makes it easier and more

| forgiving to align the layers.

The materials list and instructions shown in this article are

| for the small walnut box. A wide variety of boxes can be

| achieved from the same pattern by enlarging and reduc-

| ing it and by alternating the thickness of the layers and the

| species of wood. The large box is an example of that. I

I used 1/4" walnut and mahogany and 3/4" purple heart to

| make if. Both sizes of the pattern are in the pattern section

1 of this issue.
