Project Information

This is my first dovetail box i have made. I bought a dovetail jig from a friend and thougt i would make a box. I wanted to make it unique and a little fancy. It was made out of walnut, african mahagony, cherry and i think mapel. I enjoyed making this and i hope to make many more differnt boxes in the near future.

I like the combination of wood and construction technique. Hope you don't mind some constructive critique but I'd suggest using 1/2" stock for the top and bottom to match the sides. Otherwise it seems a out of balance on the design.

Very nice box with an interesting design. I favor the handle and of course the contrasting wood choices.
Thanks for sharing!
