Today I decided to try my hand at making a book matched panel that will fit nicely into a lid for a box project I’ve been thinking about. For my first attempt, I think it turned out fairly well. Now to find time to build the rest! I would like some suggestions on a wood type for the remainder of the box…..I would prefer something that contrasts only a little bit, but am open to any and all suggestions.

Great looking panel Joe. I would think something darker than the panel to make a frame around it.

Pretty nice looking piece, I agree with David. Maple if you want to go lighter in color, walnut for darker.

Thanks guys….kinda leaning towards maple with a danish oil finish. Maybe some keys from the panel cut-offs…..
