this is my first attempt at box making. i used white oak for the sides, maple for the bottom and sapeele for the lid and miter keys. a stainless steel piano hinge secures the lid. the finish is ML Campbell Krystal Conversion Varnish. the interior will remain unfinished until i decide on a use for the box. i might turn it into a jewelry box with foam and silk interior compartments. the lumber was off cuts from previous projects and i have 10 hours in the making and finishing. i like the contrast of box making compared to my everyday work and plan on making many more boxes in my spare time.
