I woke up this morning with every intention of building a bandsawn box, unfortunately my bandsaw is just a ten inch with a 1/5 HP motor and was not gutsy enough for the walnut and paduak. Instead I used the same idea but did it all on my compound miter saw! It was fun and I like the contrast between the paduak and walnut, it was made entirely from scraps, even the grey felt liner was a scrap from a previous project.

Looks beautiful Edward, how many coats of what type of finish did you use to get that glisten?

5 coats of zinsser bulls eye shellac sanding with 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper between every coat. First time using shellac on wood too, i really like the results I got with it.

I like the top-sliding mechanism. Very nice wood contrast and colors too. Good job.

Edward, this is a good looking box that you have posted and you chose a nice set of “scraps” to build it.

Beautiful little box with nice woods and an unusual swing top. Those woods are so expensive I can imagine you are glad to get max use out of them. Good work!
