Box1

This is my first box. It is more a valet that I made for a friend who has been using a cardboard box for years to put his keys and wallet in. I thought this might look a little nicer. It is made using Maple and Cherry. I’m fairly pleased with it but there are a lot of mistakes on the joints and also the way I cut the wood for the sides (I could have had a very nice dark bottom wrapping around the outside of the Cherry sides but I’ll know better next time). I also learned not to use the belt sander because it shaves off entirely to much wood and also leaves burn marks which were very difficult to remove. I finished it with water based polyurethane.
