Here is my first attempt at making a box using box joints. I built a jig to use on my router table. This box is intended to hold napkins on the dinner table. I’ve made four so far a gave them away. I finished it with eight hand rubbed coats Formby’s Tong oil and then about six coats of Briwax.

Great box! What woods were used? I really like the figured sides and the dark top and bottom!

Fantastic box. Great design and build. Fantastic choices in wood colors/grain. The dark top and bottom are set off nicely by the figured sides and inseets. Nice added touch with the keys in the frame corners.
Keep up the great work.

A very attaractive box and the woods used. I like your habit of giving maximum pictures so that the project can be seen in total. I wish others also follow this practice.
