This is a box
restored from a very old French design, one of the oldest scroll saw
designs I have ever found, from around 1870. I have kept the flowers
motif but I have changed the shape of the borders that was a bit too
simple. The flowers are arranged in a quite natural way, which gives
the box an informal aspect. The fretwork contains roses,
carnations and daisies. The sides of the box can be made either in
one piece, covering the interior with linen, or in two pieces, the
external one fretworked and the interior one acting as a contrasting
wood. The box is completed with two hinges.
The
box is designed to be made preferably with 1/4 and 1/8 inches wood or with 6
and 3 mm wood, but of course it can be resized at will to fit any wood
thickness. The following table gives the measures of the box depending on the
wood width you use:
