A few years ago I visited my niece in South Africa. They had recently moved house and were renovating their garden to include a Petanque court. As I helped then prepare the area for the court I suggested that I might make them a special box to house their boules! Once returned to Australia I started but soon realised that I should have taken more measurements than I had to make sure the box would be large enough for the 8 boules. A few phots and text messages and I was away.
The box was made in my usual way using veneered marine ply. I made up a parquetry design for the outer surfaces using some manufactured veneer. These surfaces are bordered with another manufactured veneer imitating walnut, together with a white black white stringing and cherry edging strips.
The hinges, catches, carry-case handle, and corners where obtained from AliExpress. The interior is lined with closed cell foam. As ever, thanks for looking
