I had some 1/4” thick bloodwood stock, so I laminated it to 1/8” oak(?) and milled the resulting 3/8” material to size for these boxes. The laminated stock creates an interesting effect, I think. Finish is just BLO and paste wax.

Ever so creative Charlie!!!! These are really nice….
Gives me some ideas on how to use some of my “very thin” pieces from re-sawing!
Great idea and I love the bloodwood, one of my favorites to work with ( except the “red dust”)

Very cool. And great use of what others would pitch out. Is bloodwood the same as Paduk?

Thanks, everyone!
Andy, bloodwood is a little redder and more straight-grained than padauk. Paudauk tends to vary from red to orange-ish, but bloodwood is a more consistent color.
