Long Inlaid Celtic Key Pattern Box / Dice Vault

Celtic key pattern long box of hard maple inlaid with walnut and flocked interior. I think my second foray into laser-cut wood inlay went pretty well. This is probably not an optimal dice vault but, it looks good with these turquoise gemstone dice. I’ll likely do a proper dice vault in the future. the build video is more of a “what I did” than a “how to.” The beauty shots were a great opportunity to play with the new motion control robot.

A number of small origami stars made from Celtic art washi tape. Three use my Squared Spirals key pattern in metallic gold, deep purple, and red. Two use my first key pattern washi tape in shades of blue and metallic gold. One slightly larger star is blue with lighter blue spirals with metallic gold accents. They are scattered on a background of off-white crinkled (momigami) paper.

Three-quarter view of a pencil pouch that is about two-thirds fabric printed with a continuous Celtic knotwork design in green, and one-third green cactus leather. An open blue and brass zipper is at the top. A Blackwing pencil with a point guard, a brighter green pencil, a Retro 51 Cioppino pen, and three rolls of different Celtic art washi tape sit in front of the pouch. The surface and background are a pearlescent white crumpled-finish paper.

The box is open with the lid resting against it. Inside, a set of milky turquoise dice can be seen (three-quarter view).
