Fellow Porsche Enthusiast brought a piece of M. Kauri and ask if I could make him a box. The amount of wood dictated the size of the box, only enough for this one. 9 1/2" wide, 5 1/2" deep and 3" tall. box wall thickness is 1/2", lid is 3/8". The lid center has 3 slates with the German Flag colors on them. Blac,k, red, yellow, reversed the colors on the inside so they would be in the right order when the lid is open.
The outside top has the Porsche Logo inlayed and the inside of the iid has the Porsche Club Logo inlaid. The finish is Osmo, several coats, buffed, waxed and polished. The inside bottom has a cork lining 1/8" thick.
The box joints were done on the router table using a Incra Ultra Jig. The lid lift is a part of a ring the friend found in his Porsche, did not know where it came from, so we used it.
This is my only time ever to use this Kauri wood. Really nice to work with and finishes well.
Friend was very happy with the box.
