Some Maple boxes I made using 1/2” Maple, Walnut splines and Burl Top Lids. Both are lined on the inside with felt.
Boxes are 4.5” by 7” by approx 1.75” tall.
All made using my brand new Porter Cable Table saw, which I could finally build some spline jigs, table sled and stop blocks for accuracy. What a difference and joy a great/good saw makes.
Thanks for looking.

Nice design and choice of materials. The uniformity of the maple naturally draws your eye to the spines and the insert on the top. Well done!

Very nice looking boxes. Love the wood combinations you used – very classy looking. Maple and walnut is a combination hard to beat! Not sure what that other burl you used is but it looks great.
Congratulations on your new table saw. Will be looking for more projects from you now that you have it!
Great job!

Jim,
I am not sure what the Burl woods are either. I have a pack of different kinds of burl veneers, but they are not named so I just match for color and contrast. Even as a veneer the amount of depth to the wood is amazing.
Thanks for the comments!

The picture framing of those beautiful burls really makes for a sharp looking box.

Very nice Mike! Mixing different woods always add a little something extra to a project, once again very nice!
