Hex jewlery box

[SteveNelson46]

Just a simple one day project. Every time I make one someone else wants one also. I think I've made 10 or 12 so far and I try to make each one a little different. This one has a different set of roses and I changed the font on the name. Both are on a textured background.

I like the Hex shape of the box and the smooth but simple lines of it. What bit(s) did you use to carve it?

[SteveNelson46]

The base/bottom and the underside of the lid were created with 2D toolpaths. On the inside pocket of the lid I used an Amana 1.125" bowl and tray bit and for the rim to fit inside the bottom I used a .5" DC end mill. The top of the lid was modeled in Aspire and I used a finish toolpath with a 1/16" tapered ballnose and a 1/4" EM for the cutout. The texture is just one of the standard textures that comes with Aspire.

I forgot to post a picture of the inside of the lid.

Beautiful job Steve. Are you cutting the box from one solid piece of wood

Beautiful job Steve. Are you cutting the box from one solid piece of wood

Yes I am. The thickness of the material is 1 7/8" and the shank of the bowl and tray bit is just barely long enough. I use the same bit on the inside of the lid.
