Oak Music Box

This is a music box I made for a friend’s birthday back in March. I used oak with a Minwax Golden Oak stain, and then sealed with polyurethane. The music movement plays Pachelbel’s Canon in D, which is one of my friend’s favorite songs from back in her cello-playing days. I purchased the movement from Klockit, and decided at the last minute to glue a mirror to the lid of the box. If I could do it over, I’d cut the lid away from the box with a table saw as opposed to a band saw, but overall I think it came out fairly well. Comments, suggestions, good jokes and all other manner of verbiage welcome.
