This was a project where I even made the wood. There is a kitchen cabinet manufacturer in Shediac where I live. I had been buying kindling from them, one day I decided to laminate the 3/4” by 3/4” sticks together. I used all oak and they looked beautiful. I then ran them through the planer to pare off some weight and ended up with the box. The dark accent wood around the lid is walnut got it from the same place. Here in Canada using Walnut for kindling is akin to lighting a cigar with a $100 dollar bills. I gave it to my son to house his knife collection.

What a fantastic box from burnpile scraps? Lovely! I really like how you did the handles. The “eye” (for lack of a better term) gives the box a masculine feel- at first glance I thought of a Pirate Box or at least something from an old sailing vessel. I guess it was the handles and that hardware- not the color or anything like that. So it is certainly the perfect vessel to keep a collection of ….. knives… Pirate knives I think! :)

That would also make a very nice chest for things like chisels, measuring tools, squares, etc. Great way to store all of those hand tools.
