Simple Lift Lid Box

Simple Lift Lid Box

image

This box came from a Doug Stowe book, “Basic Box Making.” Walnut sides, oak ply bottom, quilted maple top and ash keys. I made five of these for Christmas gifts, it would have been six but brain-farted in the process and ruined one… but hey, ya gotta break some eggs, right?

-- All the test cuts in the world won't stop you from cutting the outside when you meant to cut the inside. doh!
