Man Box…like a jewelry box but for a man? This one is for you David aka Patron.
A place to empty the pockets… wallet, keys, loose change, tums? and not on the kitchen bench or table lol
Hairy oak…the insert in the lid. I just love the patterns and swirls.. It grows in Western Queensland in the dry inland area.The bark looks like a wet YAK.. I kid you not.!!!! When you cut the slices the hairs fall like in a salon,,
The main box sides and framing are N.G. Rosewood…not as figured as the bandsaw box # 16888
Next post will have the insides.. Spanish cedar lined and purple felt bottom.?

I like it! I bet it would look good in hairy walnut, or hairy mahogany too. All kidding aside, great box!

Nice!!!!! Very beautifull grain!
David is going to love it.
In process of doing a “Man Box” with my daughter ( scrapys squirt ) for her husbands birthday.
Keep up the great work.

Not literally for David but as an example of the “man box” concept.
Sorry David LOL

Nicely done. My wife complained about my roving pile of keys, wallet, coins, etc. She requested that I put my box-making skills into creating abox for all that stuff. Interesting how people can have like experiences from halfway around the globe.
Keep on keepin’ on.

Man I love that grain. It does make a bold statement.

delightful box
but i must ask about the hairy oak its grain structure is so like the sheoak timber local to Western Australia
is this also from a species of the allocasuarina like ours or is it a different timber

I believe it to be Allocasuarina littoralis.
