This little wooden ring box was made from Austrailian T&G Flooring off-cuts. It has a 1/8” wood hinge and magnets to keep it closed.

How nice! This is definitely what you need when you give a wooden ring to somebody as a gift. Very good.

I llike the rustic look. A very unique little box. The magnets were a good idea too.

Wonderful Franklad. I especially like the back view #3. The surface finish just suits the whole style. Any more smoothing would be wrong.

Thanks, woodworm!
Junji: Thanks! ...and they aren’t too difficult to make.
stefang: Thank you! The magnets were easy to install, I might add. Found some online that are 1/8” and drilled an appropriate size and depth hole. They are quite strong! I had apprehensions about installing them where I did because the point furthest from the hinge would be ideal in terms of the box staying closed better. BUT I didn’t want to put them right at the front of the box. ...and now, I’m thinking they are so strong that putting them at the front would have given it a bit “too much” hold.
Jahar100: Thanks! :)
YorkshireStewart: Thank you! I did some shaping with a belt sander and carving knife. I decided to smooth over the whole thing with fine grit, but to leave those underlying marks and scratches.
