Quilted Maple Board or Project or Gift or Something? #2: Ye Olde Pencil Box

Today I squared off each end of the box and cut a base to size. Then I re-planed all four sides of the box and added a chamfer to the edges of the base assembly. I screwed the base assy to the box from below, countersinking two screws.
Here is a picture before assembly:

Here are a couple of pictures after assembly and adding Danish Tung Oil:

After the Tung Oil dries, I will add a wipe on poly finish (Liberon). I don’t have enough wood left to make another Pencil Box, but will save the scraps for some other use in the future.
