this is a keep sake box that i meant to celebrate the walnut tree, the top is made of spalted walnut and regular walnut with bubinga and dogwood, the box itself is made of antique southern heart pine that i added some red oak stain to it…i wanted to darken it some and have a reddish tone to it. The inside has a removable tray that is made from walnut , and i wanted to try something with some bamboo…so i cut those so they would provide a cup for keeping tie tacks and smaller things in them…wedding ring storage or mens jewelry , and then there is a bottom part to the box for other storage, then there is a bottom case where there is a drawer, the front decoration is red cedar in layed into a poplar drawer front with a walnut drawer pull…this project evolved from one idea to the last…im going to keep it for myself and it will give me the ability to clean my dresser top off..thanks for taking a look…

grizzman, That top is really wild. I love that spalted walnut and it’s a great contrast with the bubinga and dogwood. The cups with the bamboo was a cool idea. It’s a great looking box. Very nice.

What can I say? The Grizz does it again. You are certainly putting out some snazzy stuff lately.
I think it’s great.
