This was a fun little project using scrap red oak, Jatoba and walnut. The body is made from oak staves the base and lid are Jatoba and the finial is walnut. I got a nice tight fit on the lid and it is just the right height to hold a few of my favorite cigars. I used a home made box scrapper for the inside work and the wall thickness is about 3/16”. The staves started life at 6” X 3/4” square. I beveled them at 22.5 on each side and went from there.
Try one at home, you’ll have fun too.

Looks great! Another good idea for those left over pieces! My scrap pile is getting smaller as I set aside pieces for different projects. And my gifts to make/buy list is getting smaller too. Thanks for sharing!

This was a good change from the common shapes of boxes and you have turned it out beautifully. The choice of wood from the scrap is appropriate.

Fantastic box. Love the design and wood choices. Useing scrap wood can be a challenge to get pieces that work well together. You have picked the right ones.
Great use of scraps! ( yes Hairy I am always glad when someone else digs into the scrap bin for a project.)haha
Keep it up.
