Every couple of years I try to make some of my Oval Tambour Boxes. It is a project of love where improving technique seems to provide most of the enjoyment. This time I need to make boxes to round out my display at the upcoming shows.
I have been working on the next generation of my Oval Tambour Box. With this generation I am not labeling them as "jewlery" boxes as I have found this to be limiting as to their full functionality. I will be using wood for the bottoms instead of velvet on some of this group. There are a few other enhancements that have been added as well. Three wood types are being used, Black Walnut, Black Cherry, and Birdseye Maple.
