Wrapped up this small box. Pretty happy with how it turned out, overall. Those mitres could be improved and I perhaps rushed some sanding. I learned a lot about flocking wood boxes. Needed a bit more glue and a lot more flocking fibres. I love the clasp on this one.
Getting some box practice in with this gorgeous Black Limba. I’ll probably do another version with full grain matching on the outside, but it felt better to just dive back in. Will be adding a lid with a contrasting dark wood handle.
Another chunky box. I finished it with spray-on poly, buffing with Kraft paper in-between coats. I managed to refine my half-laps and added the angled handle to the lid.

Sometimes you just want a box that’s small and chunky. This was my first time practicing half-lap joints on the table saw. The box lives on in my son’s room, containing various knick-knacks.
