Description
- The Boxed Compass with Hand Inlayed Compass Rose is a beautiful reproduction of an antique gimbaled brass compass in a beautifully inlayed hardwood box.
- Hand inlaying hardwood is an old time-honored art that requires considerable talent, patience, and precision to create a beautiful one-of-a-kind piece. This hardwood box features a inlayed compass rose made from four different species of beautiful hardwood.
- As each compass rose is inlayed into the hardwood box using similar hand tools to those used 200 years ago, each compass is unique and will have slight variations. The 2 5/8" dia. compass is fully gimbaled with a solid brass gimbal set.
- The gimbaled brass compass is protected by a glass cover. The corners of the hardwood box have lighter hardwood splines to offer additional strength and support.
- The hardwood case is 4 5/8" square, 3 5/16" tall, and the compass weighs 1 pound 5 ounces. This boxed compass makes a beautiful addition to a nautical collection or executive's desk.
