Box Kitz for Basic Veneered Box
£135.00
Box Kitz – 3 choices
Would you like to be remotely tutored by a well known and experienced artisan box maker? Do you enjoy learning through watching rather than reading? Ian Hawthorne has recorded a free-access-to-all basic veneered box-making project on YouTube– (parts 1 to 9 are now available to view – that’s over 6hrs of worthwhile box making) and we are supplying Basic Box Kits for creating a similar veneered box to his creation – the Box Kitz. So, as he’s explaining the basics in his workshop, you can use the Box Kitz to work alongside him in your workshop. Click here to view a recent Box Kitz completed by our customer Paul Bolton. Paul chose the walnut and sycamore variation and successfully upgraded his box by adding a lock, escutcheon and a tray himself. Well done Paul. The Box Kitz not only cuts down on preparation time and the machinery required, it also reduces surplus costs involved in buying stock, as you have exactly what you need to complete the project. There are now 3 variations of the Kit available – choose from the following: –
- Oak borders with zebrano veneer (suede – colours offered may include green, black, red, brown – add your preference when purchasing)
- Walnut borders with oak veneer (suede – as above)
- Sycamore borders with walnut veneer (suede as above)

I received the box everything as there. I live in northern Idaho, so the box will be a project this winter when it cold outside.
