Thats a great looking box. I love the timber you used it all blends in nicely. And the work on the knot, did you carve it or use the scrollsaw? (or both?)

Great job Patrick! Love the choice of woods and the workmanship is great. Just goes to show you that you shouldn’t overlook the box stores for wood. Good eye! What does the inside look like? What are the box dimensions?

The knot was first cut on the scroll saw , than carved and sanded. I glued it on the lid using a vacuume bag.
