This is a small box I made a while ago for a client who wanted a box to hold 6 spoons that have been handed down from her great great grandmother. They were going to be given to her granddaughter in this box.
box is walnut with maple stringing around the edge on the top. Panel is walnut burl veneer. Pin latch idea is from an article in fine woodworking.
thanks for looking

A very nicely executed box. I also favor pin latches as they add a fine detail.
Thx for sharing!

Beautiful box – my favorite wood, walnut! It works well with just about any other wood, cuts/tools easily, and just plain looks spectacular.
