The next theme was a briefcase. The new thing in this task was the making of dovetails. There has to be an inlay in the lid veneer as well. I have made the body of the briefcase of American Nut and the lid and bottom of steamed Beach veneer on plywood. I have made the handle of twenty layers of veneer on a model under the vacuumpress. The making of the dovetails was not as hard as I thought it would be. It is precise work but if you’re carefull it’s not hard. My inlay of veneer in the lid is a little cube. I have finished the briefcase off with hardwax oil.
