This is a box I made for my wife for her birthday.

We are avid fans of the Art & Crafts style.

It is QSWO with a Motawi tile.

She already had a couple of tiles that I had not framed so I chose one …........
Of course, she chose the other.

The tile can be switched by removing a mounting plate in the back.

This box is from Wood magazine a few years ago.

Beautiful project, beautifully executed. I’ve always liked this design and the Motawi tile is just icing on the cake.

Greg, this is a beautiful box. I have wanted to build one of these since seeing the project in Wood but just never did get around to it. Your rendition of the box is gorgeous and nice choice of wood as well.

Thank you to everyone for your comments.
This was a fun little project that turned out well.

If anyone tries this one, be sure of your saw accuracy.
Those long angled 45’s will show any missed set ups.

It has been on my list since I first saw the box.
Usually I have magazines out in various areas, but I had to keep this one out of sight from the start.
I did not want my wife to spot this one in advance.

One of my favorite Motawi tiles. We used the same set from the Gamble House for my Greene & Greene tile frame. I’ve thought about building the same box. Thanks for making it seem doable.
