The Wedding Present
The project that lead me to buy the drum sander can now be revealed. It is a wedding present for my grandson and his sweet wife. It had to stay under embargo until the wedding which was held last Saturday (30th June).
The gift is a commemorative document box in fiddleback blackwood. It is intended to hold their most precious documents starting with their marriage certificate.
This is a rough pic taken during construction. 
I will post better shots when I get a chance for a proper photo session. Over the next few weeks I will post some details of its construction.
Design
The design was visualised and refined in 3DS MAX - this is a rendering that explores the effect of different amounts of bevel on the lid frame.
