braid sine wave inlay

A sine wave braid inlay in the top of a woodbox.

The top, bottom, and sides of the box are oak boards from HomeDepot, fastened together with biscuit joints into wider pieces.

I created the pattern for the braid with three offset sine waves with gaps in a numerical python jupyter notebook.

The braids are carved from 1/8" thick hardwood boards, which you can find for example in the inventable's materials shop.

The Easel files are online as an Inventable project.

And there are also more images and movies of this piece in addition to those below.
