After i made a box for my daughter i made one for my wife made of maghogany and maple.

Very beautiful box with beautiful foot. I like the splines.
Should the next project be a box for your wife’s mum, try key splines.

Very nice box, I like the base, the splines and the contrasts with the woods, the only thing I would change is the handle, into a shape with crisp edges to match the rest of the box, however just a little point.

Thanks for posting.
