Keepsake box

This is a nice box and I like the wood combination that you chose. It has nice clean lines and I am sure it made a wonderful gift.

Very good looking wood combination! Just curious, why did you mount the hinges on the outside instead of to the underside of the lid and the top edge of the back board?

i like the contrasting woods nice work

Nicely done. How did you make the lid? Did you just glue the maple and mahogany together or are there any special joint that we can’t see?

They are just 3 different piece glued together so no special joint. Once you laminate pieces like that just shoot them through a good planer a few times and those pieces become one piece.

O and I mounted the hinges on the outside because this was my first box so I didn’t really know what I was doing. :)
