I made this silverware chest for a friend and his bride as a wedding present a couple of years ago. Designed and built around an insert from Rockler. Satin Srpay Laquer. Wish I would have had time to do something interesting inside the lid, but I barely got this much done in time for the finish to dry in time for the wedding.
Don’t tell, but I recycled the mahogany from a book shelf unit that was being tossed.
Sorry the 2nd & 3rd pictures aren’t that great – blurry.

Looks like a box to me and I just love small wooden boxes, Paul. Nice work. I like the inlay. I’ve yet to incorporate inlay work in my boxes. Must give that a try.

Wonderful work Paul. I love to see creations like this that come of ‘tossed’ items. One man’s junk….

Very sweet!
What struck me immediately is that I recently did a box with almost identical feet.
And here I thought I was so original. lol
