This is one of my firsts boxes. Is a gift for my father’s aunt. She is a cute person.
The material I use is solid eucalipto (Eucaliptus grandis), for the sides and the and handle, and plywood guatambĂș (Balfourodendron riedelianum) for the top (1/4’‘) and the bottom (1/8’‘).
Finish is paste wax (www.cerasuiza.com).
Greetings from Argentina.

Welcome to Lumberjocks! That’s a nice little box.
It’s interesting that you know the scientific names for the wood.

Nice box.
Good tight miters. I like the knot in the third pic. Gives the box even more charector.
