Box top is made from a piece scrap curly or flame maple. Darker wood is has unfortunately slipped my mind. From what I remember I was told it came from Hawaii. Starts with a K. Not Koa. Sounds like Kiwa or Kwila but I think there should be a Y in there somewhere. Made this in a Woodcraft class to learn the ins and outs of box making. Bottom is felt (I added this later at home). Has Brusso Hinges.

Really nice box. I love that maple top it really “pops.” Interesting material for the bottom liner too.

This is your first box? It seems to me that you got your moneys worth out of this class. Great job on the box. Maybe I should take a class.

Very nice choice of wood, that maple is sharp and contrasts nicely; well done!

That’s a dandy, whether your first or your fiftieth. Excellent work, worthy of Brussos!

Very nice, nice choice of woods and your miters and splines look crisp. Looks like an excellent job.

Looks like a really nice box. The lid is a beautiful piece of wood. Wish I had scrap like that.

Excellent work. Did you choose the materials or did everyone have the same choice?

Mine were chosen, I was new. The other guy brought in some curly Koa and birdseye maple.
