This first box was made of a single piece of Poplar milled into the 4 sides that are dovetailed together. The Lid was one piece of Hard Maple resawn and book-matched. Feet are 2 small miters glued together that came from one long strip.
This second box I am really happy with the results but also with the scraps I was able to obtain. Beautiful woods such as Mahogany, Quilted maple, Old growth Oak and Crotch Walnut and inner lining of Spanish Cedar. Lots of small details added allover the box. I used up close to exact amount of scraps I collected for this box with very little waste.
I love this next box! what an adventure and learning experience it was to build. It was built along side of other projects and worked on when the ideas and feeling was right. The box sits at 5" square with a pleasing proportionate height. Woods used are Black Cherry, Sweet Cherry, Hard Maple and Black Walnut.
The time to build these boxes are certainly worth something. The woods used to build them is 0 dollars. The experience and satisfaction in giving these woods a new life for people to appreciate.... Priceless!! Make something from nothing! For someone for something :)Rich
