Ebony Ring Box

The box itself is joined with internally-splined miters, and edged with silver. Lined inserts hold the ring in place. The silver inlay in the lid is drilled all the way through the top.

Box with lid closed. All four sides come from one small piece of Macassar Ebony.

The top is inlaid with various gauges of silver wire. The pattern itself represents the map of the sky on the evening of January 18, 2007

The silver banding around the edges are mitered and "riveted" into place with silver wire.


This is a small box I made for someone very special to me. My friend Alan Cable designed and made the ring at his workshop here in Houston. By all means check out his website here. Anyway, I built the box to commemorate a truly excellent day (and more importantly, she said yes.)
