This Bible box was not designed to fit a particular bible. It is designed just to be used as a box. You can easily modify the size of the box to have a bible fit if desired. The interior drawer is 4.25 inches wide X 6 inches tall. The depth is .75 inches.
If you look at the pages of the book you will see groves that represent the paper. I used a band saw to lightly score the three edged. You could use a hack saw. You could also use Baltic Birch ply and let the plies represent the pages.
The edges of the covers and spine are rounded over to give it a book appearance.
The front cover of the book is two 1/8" thick boards. The fret work is cut then the backer board is glued to the front cover to make it 1/4" thick. This matches the 1/4" thick back cover. I did this because I did not want the fret work to show into the box.
After you cut the pattern for the drawer the bottom is cut and sanded to fit inside the drawer walls. This takes some care to get a good fit.
There are a few tricky parts to the instructions so study the pictures and pattern closely so you understand how it goes together before you start.
