This is a nested jewellery box that Matt has made as one of the prizes in the Ebor School P&C Christmas Raffle which is drawn on 18 December 2011 at the Guy Fawkes Carols by Candlelight.
Not only did he do the intricate inlay on the lid but he also shaped the brass hinge and clasp from some brass he found in his father's shed. The box is lined with black felt.
It was made from some old skirting boards that had been removed from his grandmother's house in Mudgee. Her house had been built from recycled materials from the old presbytery so the wood would be at least 100 years old.
Tickets for the raffle are $1.00 each and as at the date of this post, I have sold 271 tickets. Thanks to all my email buddies that took a few.
