This is a limited edition of four valet boxes made from eucalyptus wood. All were made from the same board.

Eucalyptus has a spectacular grain pattern with multi-hued colouring. A different exotic wood is used for accent on each valet box.  The Lacewood-accented box has an extra inlay of Black Walnut inlay on its top.

For this edition, the trays, dividers and runners in the interior of each valet box are made from the same accent wood as that used on its exterior.

No stains or dyes have been used. The rich colours that you see are the natural colours of the woods. 

The interior of the valet box is designed to gracefully accommodate loose change, wallet, PDA, cell phone, glasses, cufflinks and the like.

Notice how the interior of the top is finished as beautifully as the exterior. That takes extra time and material. But, the result is well worth it. 

SPECIFICATIONS

Dimensions:

about 12" x 9" x 3.5"  

Finish:

Interior and exterior are finished with several coats of Danish Oil, a penetrating resin. Exterior is further finished with a three-stage wax process, the final stage being carnuba.  The resultant finish is smooth, durable, and appealing.

Lacewood (with Black Walnut inlay on top), Purpleheart, Redheart,  or  Walnut

Exterior:

Sides are solid 1/2" thick Eucalyptus with a three-corner grain match.  Mitred corners are reinforced with keys of accent wood.

Top is made of  1/8" Eucalyptus, inlaid and bordered with accent wood, and laminated to both sides of 1/8"  Finnish birch plywood (3-ply or 7-ply). This construction not only makes the interior of the top as attractive as the exterior, but also prevents warping of the top.
