This was just a little weekend time filler. It’s a bit of a departure from my usual style. I’m calling it “Katrina” because it’s built up on pilings to protect its contents from the next flood. :-)
Construction is walnut and maple, with birdseye maple veneer on top. Finish is Danish oil followed by three coats satin wipe-on poly.

Nice Box. Those pilings are quite sturdy. Make sure your levys are in good shape.

Hey Charlie, very nice box. I love the design. Looks like you have been making a lot of projects lately. You must be putting in some off time, over time. Also your getting better and faster. Great looking box!!! Thanks for posting.
