I can resist THC

Been awhile since I've posted here. Been a crazy busy last couple months. Shipped off 2 boxes a few weeks ago, that I know have been shared by their owners, but wanted to share them here as well. Both of these boxes were challenging, but in completely different ways.

First one is made of an exotic wood called CheChen. It is incredibly heavy and dense, but truly gorgeous. The box was designed to hold 700 39mm chips, 240 43mm chips, and 2 60mm dealer buttons.



The second is a Shawshank Redemption themed box. Solid white oak with lots of laser engraving. Designed to hold 500 chips in removable racks. Art designs all came from the client @chipinla. Hardware (feet and latch) are incredibly high quality and made by Brusso.



Incredibly please with how both of these beautiful boxes came out. I truly enjoyed being challenged with these two.

So good! That definitely was a must see! I'm jealous

Alec, what would the footprint look like for a case that can hold a tad more than 1100 chips? I'm not going to be needing it any time soon, but I'm scheming for the future.

 

[JP1984]

I can't hold off any longer, I need to get the design process underway while I wait for the labels...ffs, I'm sorry wallet!

PM incoming

Is this for your THC set?

 

[fishsaybloop]

Wow these are amazing

 

[JP1984]

@alecnetwoodworks you are the man! Thanks so much for all your help and patience!

 

[TricycleClub]

If any of you are on the fence and to this point not convinced that it’s worth it, @alecnetwoodworks should be your go to.

 

[chipinla]

Agreed! Incredible craftsmanship. I have two more boxes ordered!

 

[alecnetwoodworks]

Thanks guys!

So awesome Stephen!!! Love the wood in the Cantura Cantina box. The figuring on the inside of the top piece is spectacular. Alec really knows how to pick cool pieces of wood. What is the wood on that one? Also, can we get a better pic of these feet? Very cool! Also, that lock/latch (?) is interesting too. So many details. I see something new every time I look at the pics.

Phenomenal work, like always.

The Shawshank box is White Oak, (the type of tree from the movie), the Cantura is Walnut. All hardware is from www.leevalley.com/
Really nice high quality stuff.

I suspected it was walnut, but there are so many cool different types of wood that Alec finds. I didn't want to assume.

Loved working with @alecnetwoodworks. Highly recommend if you’ve been thinking about going this route. Reasonable prices too!

This one is Cherry, 500-chips with space for two DB’s.

PS - the image on the case is part of the chip inlay. It’s a Banyan Tree, found in south Fla. J5 designed the chip inlay and simply supplied the image to Alec and he took it from there

 

[JP1984]

Alec has been busy! So many amazing cases and sets I've not seen before!

I was building the latest Cherry and Walnut boxes alongside yours.

Just started on two more boxes this weekend that should be pretty epic.

I dunno @chipinla it feels like you do...2 already and 3 more on order?

Only 2 more… but one of them isn’t for chips… it’s to hold 4 decks of cards. Going to be a nice addition to the collection.

The thought that went into this design is incredible! The execution is flawless. WOW.

Much better! I look forward to seeing it! Your Shawshank Box inspired my own creation as I'm sure you can tell. I wish you wouldn't though, I just know I'll end up with a card box too...

Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing the card box too. Might have to ask Alec for a sneak preview...

Should be awesome. I’m having my initials engraved on top like this. The latch won’t be on the side though.
