HOME Instrument Case

Material:

Case:  Red Oak, Laminated ply (Rosewood, Walnut, Satinwood), Walnut, Mahogany

Handle:  Alder, Mahogany, Cherry, Walnut

This Fine Furniture Joinery project is used for storing draftings tools.

This instrument case shows four different corner construction techniques:  1/4” finger joint, splined miter joint, keyed miter joint and rabbet joint.  The outsides of the case are ply laminated with veneer.  On one side, I used rosewood strips to make a tree pattern; and on the other is walnut.  The inside has satinwood & walnut.

The handle is a functional compass.  The threads, washers and nuts were handmade.  I used a router to make the thread and spindle taps for the nuts.  The hinges and clasps are also handmade out of wood.
