Bombé-style fancy little box

How I made this fancy little chest, with Bombé-style sides and veneered with marquetry. Inspired by boxes made by Abraham Roentgen in the 1760s.

Very, very nice! The trick to install a molding on the corner is brilliant, especially since veneer on 90 degrees a corner tends to chip.

The marquetry demonstration was perfect.

Well dang...now I'm gonna have to make one of those amazing veneer cutters. Nice work!

Amazing work

Huh my first though upon seeing the bombè shape was that it would be a panel that was shaped and put to ribs on the inside instead of a solid piece cut to shape on the outside. Same with clamping the veneer; i expected to see sandbags or a matching curve to sandwich it, that vacuum looks fantastic to use. Great video!

[@douglasnadel1028]

Thanks! I think if this was a full-sized chest I would do it as a bent lamination of thin layers of wood.

Great job.

I'm amazed at what you do with basic tools. And you are my new hero for using a BT3000. It was my first table saw and everyone laughed at me for buying it instead of a cabinet saw. I recently retired it to the garage but can't part with it.

[@douglasnadel1028]

Ha ha I love my Ryobi BT3000! Don't have room for a bigger table saw. Thanks!

[@petedavies4796]

Great video and very impressive piece 👍🏻 you’ve really made a project like this, which otherwise would seem dauntingly difficult, approachable to attempt. Really keen to try and integrate these highly decorative techniques now that you’ve somewhat demystified them 🙂🙏

[@douglasnadel1028]

Thanks! Good luck and LMK if you need any advice

[@animalcrash]

That is stunning. How many hours do you have in it?

[@douglasnadel1028]

Thanks! Somewhere between 50-100 hours. This project was so much fun I didn't rush it.

[@kedmitheus]

thanks for sharing, this is beautiful ! can you share the sizes of the box? trying to do a similar project but not sure about the sizes...

[@douglasnadel1028]

Thanks! The sides were 11 and 6.75” long, 4.25” high

Thanks for your interest! I don't have any plans, it's all there on the video. Sort of made this one up as I went along.
