Henkels box

A nice diversion to building razors is building boxes for them. A beautiful pair of Henkels needed a place to rest so I built this Mahogany finger jointed case
for them.
I used the gold washed design on the blades as a basis for the carving on the lid. After carving the design I used 23k gold leaf to finish it along with a scrimshawed Ivory inlay with the Twinworks logo.

I used a 90 degree hinge and a fully mortised lock mechanism. The section that holds the razors is flocked and the padded lid provides just enough cushioning to keep the razors securely in place .

Hope you enjoy this diversion.

Some "in the process " shots showing the hinge,lock,joints and the preliminary leafing process along with the carving.

Is there anything you can't do? Simply beautiful!!

Absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing

That's beautiful! Fantastic work!

BTW - where do you source your hardware? Hinges lock etc. I have a hard time finding them.

An excellent job of it. A fine resting place for a fine pair of razors.

First , thank you everyone for your kind comments.

Adam. Off hand I'll use Woodcraft ( these pieces ) , Rockler, Vandyke restorers, Brusso. But a quick Google search showed lots of others as well.
I just happen to have a Woodcraft nearby so I can see the pieces in hand rather than just a photo or description.

Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing.

That is beautiful and those finger joints are superb.
Those razors aren't too bad either. ;)

Thank you. But honestly a decent jig makes some jointery quite simple to do but look pretty neat!

Incredible job!
