This lovely piece is a custom job made from several types of timber glued together then shaped in an asymmetric style. It was requested by a fellow from Coffs Harbour who wanted a large cabinet for his wife's jewellery. It has 5 drawers and a compartment on the top. It is finished in satin lacquer, red felt lining and brass fittings.
It was an enormous undertaking as, although Matt has made a few of these patchwork style boxes before, this one was more than twice the usual size and used 34 tubes of epoxy glue. He also made the timber and brass handles .
It should look wonderful in its new home.
