3928 Sapeli wood and Jatoba on the top and bottom of this constructed Bank

Sapeli and Jatoba Wood U.S. Postal Bank

Dimensions -- 7 inches tall, 4 1/2 inches deep and 4 inches wide

This handsomely constructed bank is made with rare Sapeli wood and Jatoba on the top and bottom. Brighten contrast between the light and dark woods, both woods are dark, handsome up and down with tight grain pattern. The woods are very similar to Mahogany.

There is labor intensive work done on the finish. I achieve this finish through different sanding processes from 60 grit sanding to 600 grit sanding. I then steel wool the grain to achieve a super slick feel to the grain and sheen to the wood. Finish - Hand Rub with oil and urethane. Edges are squared which mark the style of this bank.

The construction of the boxes themselves is rabbit joint and glued.

They are antique in nature - U.S. Postal Service Door taken out of service and is roughly 40 - 50 years old. The door is a #1 Corban P85 key lock; combination C2, V3 - lock box # 3928.
