Fire1981 Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Nice line up ! Nice grain pattern on the box.👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted June 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 That particular box is a Brazilian hardwood called Wenge wood. Extremely hard and dense, this box feels like a chunk of stone instead of wood. "Thanks for the compliment Rick" I'm having another 40 count box made right now, also made of a Brazilian hardwood called Bubinga, a lighter brownish color wood with maple like grain in it, gonna put a Pelt & Akro mix in it, size will be 20, 5/8ths holes & 20, 11/16ths, the guy making the boxes for me makes whatever I want and even bought some new sizes of forstner drill bits for the next box, I've seen quite a few of his boxes for sale online & even some at the Seattle marble show for sale, pretty good considering he lives in Iowa seeing his work clear over here, of course he wasn't the one selling them it was someone else at the show with some of his boxes. He does killer work, I'm very satisfied with the boxes I've purchased from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted August 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 The 40 ct. box came from Phil, Brazilian hardwood called Bubinga wood. My hands are to shaky anymore, at the cost of wood I can't afford to make any mistakes. Phil does some Primo work, customized boxes and will make one from any kind of wood you wish. You probably have seen his boxes at shows or for sale on Ebay, he's been making them a long time. Not CNC but I'm ok with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted September 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Very Happy !! got some more coffin boxes today from Phil. Haven't filled them yet but as usual the workmanship is superior. The two lighter colored ones are Zebra wood and the dark one in Wenge wood, both from Brazil I think. They each hold mibs 5 mibs from pee wee to one inch. Magnetically locked so no more Oops !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
