Simple Lift Lid Box

Project by Copperjock posted 309 days ago 474 views 2 times favorited 5 comments Add to Favorites Watch

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?
