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.

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.

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