Gino Monteleone, Hall, ACT

Quadrant Box
Rock maple, myrtle, myrtle burl veneer, mulga centre piece
280mm diameter

Materials
Rock maple, myrtle, myrtle burl veneer, mulga centre piece, plywood, suede lining
An experienced woodworker and friend of the family, left the mulga to me when he died several years ago.
The other timbers were chosen for their interest and contrasting colours. The burl was chosen for its specific character.

Method of Construction
Mitre joints and dowel joints were used to construct the box.

Glues
The glues used were Urea formaldehyde and AV180.

Finish
Osmo Polyx Oil was used to finish the box.

Concept
The idea for the box came from wanting to create something different to the normal square box that would sit well on a dressing table as a centrepiece, not something to be stored in a drawer.
