Fine marquetry work is Edward's specialty, the Interlocking Block pattern on the lid is crafted from an assortment of solid, select fine hardwoods of: Yellowheart, Jatoba, Padauk. The fitted lid is framed in Black Walnut. Edward's marquetry work "goes completely though", not just inlaid on the top of the wood (see photos).
Finished with a light coat of polyurethane and hand rubbed with a finishing wax creates a durable finish, highlighting the natural wood colors. No stains or paint used. All joinery is glue; no screws or nails are used in the construction.
PHOTO NOTES:
I added a full ball of chunky Yarnspirations Bernat Blanket yarn in the photos for size reference. Bernat Blanket is a super bulky (6) weight, 10.5oz/300g, 220yds/201m. I am not able to pull this yarn thru the guides with a full ball; I would need to cast on or start a chain and work a few rows to get this big ball rolling. The yarn is not included in the purchase.
Made with Edward's expertise, precision and care, this Yarn Box would be a wonderful gift for a knitter, crocheter and for yourself! Please take a moment to read our buyer's reviews, their words are a testament to the quality of Edward's artisan work.
